The tallest building in Atlanta when it opened in 1987, One Atlantic Center ushered in a new wave of high quality architecture and development in the Midtown area of Atlanta. The post-modern design by Philip Johnson features "Rosa Porino" (Spanish Pink) granite, classical details and a gold capped, copper pyramidal top. The location is visible from many parts of the city and the site features a 2 1/2 acre landscaped park with fountains.

  One of the best looking and most impressive buildings in Midtown Atlanta. Superb!

  Still, after 20 years in the business, the best project with which I've ever been associated! It sets the standard for Atlanta and the southeastern US.
