As we\u2019ve recently seen from points across town<\/a>, Rockefeller Group\u2019s 1072 West Peachtree project is making more of a mark on Atlanta\u2019s skyline by the week. But as the high-rise approaches 50 stories tall, it\u2019s starting to forge a visual impact on par with the city\u2019s most iconic and tallest skyscrapers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to our borderline obsessive tower tracking, the 60-story mixed-use venture has climbed roughly eight stories since mid-June<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As August begins, crews are working on the 46th and 47th floors, by our count. That means the project still has more than a dozen stories to climb before adding the glassy winged flourishes depicted in renderings at top.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rockefeller reps have declined to provide construction updates this summer, other than to say 1072 West Peachtree is on pace to top out in the fourth quarter of this year\u2014and to start delivering before Atlanta\u2019s 2026 FIFA World Cup matches kick off in June.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rockefeller officials relayed in April that 1072 West Peachtree had finished its office and retail floors, en route to becoming both the tallest residential and mixed-use building in Atlanta, and the fifth tallest in the city overall. No taller skyrise has been built in the city since 1992.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since this past spring, the tower\u2019s height has clearly surpassed the nearby \u201cGoogle building,\u201d the tallest, 31-story office component of Selig Development\u2019s three-tower 1105 West Peachtree project.\u00a0And it\u2019s starting to rival the stratospheric heights of One Atlantic Center, Midtown\u2019s tallest building at 820 feet (50 stories).\u00a0<\/p>\n

As designed by Atlanta-based architecture firm TVS, in collaboration with Brock Hudgins Architects, the Rockefeller tower will count more than 350 upscale apartments total. Some will have the highest residential views in Atlanta to date.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Below that, 224,000 square feet of Class A office space will occupy floors 11 to 18. Spanning a full acre, the tower\u2019s 10th-floor amenity deck will include collaborative and lounge seating areas and a lawn for games, events, and other gatherings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rockefeller\u2019s plans for the street-level retail component include multiple options for dining throughout the day. Those spaces will see coffee, casual grab-and-go, and sit-down restaurant additions to the block, per developers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Rockefeller reps, 1072 West Peachtree will ultimately stand 749 feet, making it Atlanta\u2019s fifth tallest high-rise and supplanting Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel for the No. 5 spot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
