Transwestern Developing Trophy Office in Atlanta

Transwestern Development Company is building a trophy asset in Atlanta’s Central Perimeter.

ATLANTA— Transwestern Development Co. is getting ready to develop a trophy office tower in Atlanta. Dubbed Nexus, the office building will sit at intersection of Hammond Drive and Perimeter Center Parkway. The 354,500-square-foot office development is expected to break ground in first-quarter 2017 with delivery slated for fourth-quarter 2018. “High quality, class A new construction in a vibrant market with direct pedestrian access to transit, retail and dining is exactly the workplace environment both investors and occupiers are searching for,” Bo Jackson , Transwestern senior managing director, tells GlobeSt.com. “Nexus represents the next generation workplace. Beyond its superior location, the building design allows tenants to optimize space efficiency and provide an overall environment conducive to recruiting and retaining the best talent.” Nexus will offer occupants transportation and walkability options through a direct, covered connection to the Dunwoody MARTA station, walkability to Perimeter Mall and other area amenities, and access to Interstate 285, State Route 400 and the Central Perimeter primary road network. The building design will feature a combination of floorplate efficiency, natural light, energy efficiency and sustainability. “The increasing demand in the Central Perimeter market for class A space that provides excellent transit access and superior walkability makes the timing for this project ideal,” says Trent Germano , senior managing director at Transwestern Development. “Nexus will offer the perfect work environment for large corporate users looking to relocate to this highly sought-after submarket.” Award-winning architect Cooper Carry is designing the project. Nexus will have a podium design that includes high-performance, floor-to-ceiling glass, a 10-foot finished ceiling height and flexible floorplates to accommodate both open and closed layouts. The two-story lobby and common areas will have premium finishes. Parking will be within the base of the building and in a neighboring multilevel structure, which will be connected to the building via skybridge and provide a covered pedestrian passageway allowing occupants to walk directly from the building lobby to the MARTA station concourse. Transwestern will handle the leasing and management services.
