History
editThe building, designed by American architect Michael Graves, opened in 1989. It was originally intended to be a part of LJ Hooker's Gateway Atlanta project before that company declared bankruptcy shortly after the building's opening.[6][7] One of the first major tenants in the building was the Coca-Cola Company, leading to the building sometimes being referred to as the Coca-Cola Computer Center.[7] In 2002, the building underwent a $30 million renovation focusing primarily on the building's interior. In 2012, Prudential Real Estate Investors (the real estate division of Prudential Financial) purchased the building from a partnership between Cousins Properties and the Coca-Cola Company for $61 million, retaining Cousins Properties to manage the property.[8][9] In 2014, AGL Resources (now Southern Company Gas), took full occupancy of the building, which serves as its corporate headquarters.[9]
