January 2021 DRC Recap: Promenade Site Improvements Get Green Light

Published: 01/13/21

The Midtown DRC began 2021 with a presentation by Cousins Properties for improvements to its Promenade building, located at 1230 Peachtree Street.

About the Project

Built in 1990, the 38-story Promenade tower is part of a mixed-use development on 12 acres. The Promenade site encompasses three distinct outdoor plazas that will be updated with new landscape and hardscape improvements. 

Here are some details about the project:

• The “Stealth Plaza” (fronting along 15^th Street.), which contains a 33-foot tall concrete sculpture by Tristan Al-Haddad, will be softened with added greenery including turf and trees along with a new canopy attached to the building and a walk-up coffee window.
• The “Vault Plaza” (also fronting 15^th St.) will feature a rebuilt walkway with two levels connecting the building to the parking deck.
• The “Rear Garden’” includes new landscaping and hardscaping, along with a new seat wall and outdoor seating area that serves a café space inside the building.

DRC Recommendations

The DRC applauded the overall proposal, noting key improvements such the expanded landscape areas, new trees, and new bike room accessible from 15^th St.
