 Atlanta, GA – Cousins Properties Incorporated (NYSE: CUZ) has signed a 33,137-square-foot lease with Atlanta Life Financial Group (ALFG) at One Ninety One Peachtree Tower (top left photo). 

Michael Tabb of Red Rock Global and Pete Shelton of Colliers International represented Atlanta Life in the transaction. 

Atlanta Life Financial Group is a 107 year-old, a privately-owned financial services company that helps consumers, businesses and communities build and protect wealth. 

ALFG will relocate its Atlanta headquarters to the 25th and 26th floors of One Ninety One Peachtree Tower in November 2012. 

"ALFG’s Board, management team and employees are all very excited about the company’s return to Peachtree Street and relocating our headquarters to One Ninety One Peachtree Tower," said William J. Taggart,(middle right photo) President and CEO of Atlanta Life.  Atlanta Life’s founder Alonzo Herndon started his first successful business enterprise at 66 Peachtree Street over a century ago.

 The move will relocate the Atlanta-based firm just a few blocks from their existing space in downtown Atlanta.


"We have greatly enjoyed our 32 years at our current headquarters and cherish the great memories and history of Auburn Avenue,” said Taggart.

“After assessing various options, the opportunity to move to One Ninety One Peachtree was simply too good to pass up. Cousins is a world-class organization and One Ninety One Peachtree is one of the finest buildings in Atlanta and the Southeast."  

One Ninety One Peachtree Tower is a 50-story, 1.2 million-square-foot tower of Class A office space, retail, and restaurant space located at 191 Peachtree Street in downtown Atlanta.
