History[edit]

The building, designed by American architectMichael Graves,opened in 1989. It was originally intended to be a part ofLJ 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 wasthe Coca-Cola Company,leading to the building sometimes being referred to as theCoca-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 ofPrudential Financial) purchased the building from a partnership betweenCousins Propertiesand the Coca-Cola Company for $61 million, retaining Cousins Properties to manage the property.[8][9]In 2014, AGL Resources (nowSouthern Company Gas), took full occupancy of the building, which serves as its corporate headquarters.[9]
