Skanska USA has reached a significant topping out milestone in the construction of TPA Group and USAA Real Estate Company’s Class A office building, 3400 Overton, in northwest Atlanta.
Skanska and a crew of more than 200 construction workers were joined by anchor tenant Synovus Financial Corp., and executives from TPA and USAA for the topping out celebration, marked by the completion of the last pour on the roof level of the concrete structure.
Synovus is leasing slightly more than half of the seven-story, 175,000-square-foot Class A office building, located at Akers Mill Road and Cumberland Boulevard in Cobb County. The floor plan is designed with open floor plates and floor-to-ceiling glass, allowing for greater access to natural light and great views of Downtown, Midtown, and Buckhead.
One of the first new ground-up office buildings built in Atlanta since the economic downturn in 2008, the building is located in an area thriving with new businesses. With easy access to the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, Cumberland Mall, and Cobb Galleria, 3400 Overton is at the nexus of a vibrant retail and dining scene, which will boost brand visibility and enhance the working experience for its tenants. The balcony that serves as the building’s design hallmark takes advantage of its prime location and overlooks SunTrust Park, which is scheduled to open for the Atlanta Braves’ 2017 Major League Baseball season.
“After a long drought of new office space, Atlanta is ready for the innovative design and superb amenities of 3400 Overton,” said Scott Cannon, EVP/General Manager of Skanska USA Building for Georgia and South Carolina. “Adjacent to more than one million square feet of retail space and with a bird’s eye view of the Braves’ new park, 3400 Overton inspires a work-play environment.”
Heery International Design is providing architecture and interior design services. The building was a finalist for Office Deal of the Year in the Atlanta Business Chronicle’s “Best in Atlanta” real estate awards.
3400 Overton is on track for completion in June 2017. Renderings can be found here.
