Famed developer and architect John Portman and partners opened 230 Peachtree, the redevelopment of one of the original pieces of Portman’s downtown landmark Peachtree Center.
The tower, originally an office building developed in 1965, now includes a Hotel Indigo and a fine dining restaurant JP Atlanta.
“It is a unique experience to be able to revisit a building designed at the beginning of one’s career,” Portman said in a news release. “I feel quite fortunate to once again be able to contribute to the evolution of downtown Atlanta. This building with its revitalized plaza and one-of-a-kind connection to AmericasMart will serve so many people coming into the heart of our city.”
The ceremony included remarks by Portman, former Atlanta mayor Andrew Young and Central Atlanta Progress chief A.J. Robinson, a former Portman Holdings executive.
