Atlanta's Skyline Just Changed Forever
Midtown Atlanta just reached a skyline milestone that hasn't happened in over three decades. A 60-story tower at 1072 West Peachtree has topped out, making it the tallest new construction in the city since One Atlantic Center and 191 Peachtree Tower went up in the early 1990s.

About This Short
Midtown just hit a milestone that hasn't happened in 35 years.
A brand new 60-story tower at 1072 West Peachtree just reached its full height, making it the tallest new building Atlanta has constructed since the early 1990s. That crane you've been watching on the skyline? It's finally coming down.
We got into what makes this tower different from anything else in the city, why Atlanta went three decades without building anything this tall, and what it actually signals for Midtown's future. The last time Atlanta built something this tall, One Atlantic Center and 191 Peachtree Tower were the ones doing it, and the developer behind this one is not a local name.
The rest of the story, including what's going up in those upper floors and whether this is the start of something bigger, is on the blog.
