World’s tallest residential building is currently under construction, it is located in…, not Dubai, US, Singapore, China, UK, Saudi Arabia, name is…
A major architectural marvel is reshaping Atlanta’s skyline, the 1072 West Peachtree tower, a soaring 60-storey structure currently under construction in the heart of Midtown. Designed by Atlanta-based architectural firm TVS and backed by the Rockefeller Group from New York, this sleek high-rise is set to become the city’s tallest building erected in more than three decades.
Once finished, the skyscraper will stand at 228 meters (749 feet), making it Atlanta’s tallest residential building and the tallest mixed-use tower in the city. It will also rank as the fifth tallest structure overall in Atlanta. The tower is being built in three distinct segments:
- Base: A 9-storey podium that will house parking
- Middle section: An 8-storey office block featuring a modern, grid-like stone façade
- Upper section: A stunning residential tower clad almost entirely in glass, offering panoramic views of the city
Construction is progressing swiftly, with work already past the 20th floor. The concrete foundation and structural work for the lower office levels are now complete.
A standout feature will be found on the 10th floor, where residents will enjoy a range of upscale amenities — including fitness centers, stylish lounges, and what’s being touted as Atlanta’s largest outdoor amenity deck. This deck will sit beneath the office floors, which stretch from the 11th to the 18th floor.
The base of 1072 West Peachtree will be wrapped in warm-toned limestone and concrete, creating a solid and elegant foundation for the sleek glass tower above. This earthy palette grounds the modern design while complementing the surrounding architecture of Atlanta’s Midtown.
At street level, the building is set to buzz with life, featuring commercial dining spaces and retail outlets. Separate, thoughtfully designed lobbies will welcome office workers and residents, ensuring a smooth flow and clear division between the building’s mixed-use functions.
The project is expected to be completed in 2026.
Currently, Bank of America Plaza remains the tallest building in Atlanta, at the height to 312 meters (1,023 feet). Designed by Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates, it has dominated the skyline since its completion. Many of Atlanta’s tallest and most iconic structures are clustered along Peachtree Street.
Other major developments that have transformed Atlanta’s cityscape in recent years include the Mercedes-Benz Stadium — completed in 2017 by HOK — and a set of modern office towers joined by a glass skybridge, designed by Olson Kundig.
