Phipps Plaza has long been one of Atlanta’s best malls. Now the space will be the site of a planned food hall and much more as part of a major renovation taking place at the Buckhead landmark.
Plans for the One Phipps Plaza project, first announced in 2017 under an initial iteration, have expanded in recent months due to feedback from Buckhead business and civic leaders.
What’s Included In One Phipps Plaza In Atlanta?
One Phipps Plaza has three major components that will serve as the centerpiece of the project. They are:
- A Food Hall
- Office Space
- The Nobu Hotel & Restaurant
This article will tell you everything you need to know about One Phipps Plaza.
When Will One Phipps Plaza Be Finished?
The completion date for One Phipps Plaza is “late 2022,” according to the developer’s website.
As it stands, One Phipps Plaza will be a 13-story, Class A office tower adjacent to the shops and retail at Phipps Plaza.
One thing the One Phipps Plaza mixed-use development project intends to do is lean away from the corporate environment that has long been associated with the area.
Phipps Plaza Food Hall
One of the biggest pieces of news coming out about One Phipps Plaza is its plans for a 10,000-square-foot food hall. Atlanta has quite a few of them now.
The food hall will be part of the project’s Food/Fitness building. In addition to that, it will also include:
- A rooftop pool
- A spa
- A cafe
- Two floors of fitness space
- 40,000 square feet of entertainment and dining space
Office Space
When it comes to office space, there’ll be no shortage of it in One Phipps Plaza. The plans call for 13,000 square feet of office space, including co-working environs.
Some features of One Phipps Plaza include:
- Walkable greenspace for visitors as well as employees
- More accessibility to Georgia 400
- More retail and residential opportunities
Nobo Hotel & Restaurant
Also part of the project is the 10,000-square-foot Nobu Hotel and Restaurant, which was first announced in 2017.
Actor Robert DeNiro, Chef Nobu Matsuhisa and film producer Meir Teper are all proprietors in the concept.
The Nobu restaurant group operates out of nearly 20 hotels and 40+ restaurants across the world.
Some top dishes from Nobu’s menu include:
[ngg src=”galleries” ids=”15″ display=”basic_imagebrowser”]Final Word
One Phipps Plaza is a major move by Simon Property Group, which is one of the largest retail companies in the world. When it’s all said and done, Atlanta will be even more of a destination for food, entertainment and fun things to do.
The ATL has other cool eateries as well. If you’re gluten-free, there’s plenty of options. Same goes for keto-friendly restaurants or Asian fare in Atlanta.

Atlanta restaurant Le Petit Marche is closing its doors, owner Marchet Sparks announced in a recent Instagram post.
Sparks had run Le Petit Marche for 13 years in the Kirkwood neighborhood of Atlanta. As a successful restaurateur, Sparks joined a small band of black-owned eateries in the early part of 2000s that took a chance on entrepreneurship in the food industry.
Le Petit Marche Abruptly Closes Its Doors In Atlanta
Her restaurant regularly packed customers in lines out the door, but she has other plans going forward.
“I did decide to close this week,” she said. “It’s a matter of timing: My lease is up. And it’s a matter of opportunity,” she said. Sparks will resume her career as a real estate sales agent as well as manage her Airbnb in the city.
“We were able to grow the business into what it will become: a legacy, a legacy in everyone’s hearts forever,” she said.
The COVID-19 pandemic has hit the restaurant industry hard, especially in Atlanta. Several black-owned establishments have closed their doors during that time including:
Sweet Auburn Seafood
“Our goal has always been to provide excellent food, service and memorable experiences to every guest and we hope in some way we have accomplished that for you,” the eatery said in an Instagram post days before its September 2020 closure. ” When the idea of the restaurant concept was conceived, we could think of no better place than the Historic Auburn Avenue District which resulted in the creation of Sweet Auburn Seafood.
Sweet Georgia’s Juke Joint
The Peachtree Street eatery closed its doors in April 2020 and hasn’t opened back up since.
