After two and a half years of construction and intense anticipation among local development enthusiasts, Atlanta’s skyline is reaching new heights.
The 1072 West Peachtree tower, the tallest new structure built in the city since the early 1990s, is set to officially top out on November 7, according to Urbanize Atlanta. The event will mark a major milestone in Midtown’s transformation.
The Rockefeller Group, the project’s ownership team, alongside general contractor Turner Construction, announced today that the 60-story high-rise will see its final beam hoisted into place during a ceremonial event next month.
About 1072 West Peachtree Tower
Crafted by Atlanta’s TVS, 1072 West Peachtree aims to up the ante when it comes to office luxury as the city’s most amenitized tower, featuring a high-end spa, concierge, valet, smart building technology, and Midtown’s largest outdoor deck with sweeping Atlanta views.
Set to open in Spring 2026, 1072 West Peachtree will deliver an impressive array of amenities.
The tower’s 10th floor spans more than an acre of indoor and outdoor spaces, boasting Midtown’s biggest outdoor deck with collaborative and lounge seating, plus a versatile lawn perfect for gatherings, games, or special events. Indoors, the expansive 30,000-square-foot level houses stylish lounges, versatile meeting and conference rooms, and a state-of-the-art fitness club offering spa therapies, recovery facilities, yoga sessions, and strength-training equipment.
Residents and visitors can also enjoy all-day dining choices, from quick coffee and grab-and-go bites to sophisticated full-service eateries.
Rising 60 stories, this iconic structure blends elegance, inspiration, and rejuvenation for an unparalleled live-work experience.
Top-Out Ceremony Planned
The topping-out, a tradition signaling a building’s structural completion, will cap off construction that began with an official groundbreaking in July 2023.
While decorative elements for the tower’s crown are still to come, the event will celebrate the culmination of years of planning and work on the glassy skyscraper.
Standing prominently in Midtown, 1072 West Peachtree is poised to redefine Atlanta’s skyline with its sleek design and commanding presence.
The project has been a focal point for urban development watchers, who have tracked its progress with near-obsessive interest.
Once completed, the tower will house a mix of office, residential, and retail spaces, further cementing Midtown’s status as a hub for business and culture.
The Rockefeller Group and Turner Construction will host the topping-out ceremony, inviting stakeholders and community members to celebrate this historic moment for Atlanta’s growth.
