ATLANTA, GA – The Dilweg Companies announced the completion of a $5 million repositioning project at 101 Marietta Street, a 36-story Class A office tower located in the heart of Downtown Atlanta, as the iconic building launches a new chapter highlighted by its enhanced amenities, spectacular skyline views and proximity to vibrant 24/7 intown communities that will draw and retain top talent from across metro Atlanta.

Situated in Atlanta’s newly dedicated arts and entertainment district, 101 Marietta Street is just a short walk away from premier downtown destinations like Centennial Olympic Park, CNN Center, Georgia Aquarium and the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium, along with dozens of nearby shopping and dining venues.

Improvements to the 650,000-square-foot tower, formerly known as Centennial Tower, include a dynamic lobby highlighted by a life-size, two-way virtual window offering real-time views of the streetscape and building interior.

Designed by Perkins+Will, the highly energized lobby also features restaurant-style booths and collaborative workspaces, and recently received a merit award from AIA Georgia for its exceptional design and rebrand work.

Significant upgrades to the newly energized 101 Marietta Street tower also include a state-of-the-art conference center with training rooms, revitalized fitness center, and new tenant lounge on the 6th floor known as “The Hub”, which features televisions, a pool table, couches and kitchen with barstool-style seating. Approximately 220,000-square-feet of office space is currently available.

Jerry Banks

“101 Marietta Street is a future-ready workplace that is poised for rapid growth in the years ahead as Downtown Atlanta continues its resurgence,” said Jerry Banks, Managing Director at the Dilweg Companies. 

“The superior access offered by our location makes 101 Marietta Street an attractive destination for employers looking to draw top talent from across metro Atlanta. 

"Commuters will enjoy connectivity to mass transit, with three MARTA stations just a few blocks away, access to interstates as well as an abundance of surrounding walkable destinations.”

101 Marietta Street is also situated within ten minutes of the top six fastest-growing millennial neighborhoods in Atlanta, and is expected to benefit from a pricing advantage offered by the Downtown submarket. Located within eyesight of the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium, 101 Marietta Street will also offer unique branding opportunities for prospects looking to capitalize on the national TV coverage featuring Atlanta’s skyline.

“Downtown Atlanta is witnessing unprecedented levels of investment in its major assets, including office towers like 101 Marietta Street,” said A.J. Robinson, President of Central Atlanta Progress and the Atlanta Downtown Improvement District. “We are excited to work alongside partners committed to Downtown’s vibrancy as Atlanta and the metro region are actively rediscovering the center city.”
