Google representatives and Georgia officials were on hand Monday as the company broke ground on their new offices in Midtown Atlanta.
The initiative is part of Google’s larger $13 billion investment in offices and data centers around the country.
Google Building New Offices In Midtown Atlanta
Google’s new Midtown offices, located at 1105 West Peachtree, are expected to open in 2022. The company will occupy five floors in the new building, which is being built by Selig Enterprises.
“We’ve been fortunate to call Georgia our home for nearly two decades, and we’re excited about our continued growth here,” said Google Atlanta Co-Site Leads Hetal Joshi Gordon and Matthew Pritchard. “We see Atlanta as a place full of potential, creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship, and a place that continues to attract talented people as well as fast-growing companies that are making an impact.”
We’re proud to be a part of the vibrant ecosystem and economy here, and as we grow, we remain committed to supporting the local community and deepening our engagement, from workforce development to nonprofit support to STEM education and creating economic opportunity for everyone.”
Georgia officials are encouraged that Google would choose the middle of Atlanta to stake a claim.
“That is exactly the kind of commitment from the business community we need to keep our state the best place to do business,” Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan said. “We are proud companies like Google have made a strong footprint here and look forward to their continued growth in our state.”
The event was marked by another milestone: Google announced the Google.org Impact Challenge, which will help nonprofit organizations in Georgia.
As part of the Impact Challenge, Google.org is seeking submissions from the state’s nonprofits on their most creative and innovative ideas that will help stimulate Georgia’s economy.
“Having a world class company, Google, commit to this significant expansion speaks volumes about what’s happening in Atlanta, and in particular, Midtown,” said Steve Selig, President and Chairman of Selig Enterprises. “We are grateful Google has selected Selig as a partner, and our signature development, 1105 West Peachtree, as their new Atlanta home.”
Google has over 40 greater-Atlanta nonprofits in their Grow with Google partner program who have helped train hundreds of Atlanta small businesses and job seekers using free Grow with Google curriculum.
Atlanta has a lot of inspirational people and AtlantaFi.com is going to introduce you to many of them as well as cool places to go, great restaurants and other ATL happenings.
