Known as the CNN Center in downtown Atlanta for more than 30 years, the 1.2 million-square-foot landmark is undergoing a transformation as its owner-operator CP Group, unveils the repositioned property for the first time.

The Center is currently working with architecture and interior design firm TVS, general contractor Holder Construction, and Core Twelve for the branding of the redevelopment.

The mixed-use development, directly connected to the State Farm Arena and in close proximity to Mercedes-Benz Stadium, is planned to become a hub of retail, dining, content creation, and entertainment. CP Group has also already secured a well-known restaurant tenant for nearly 10,000 square feet of space.

CP Group has said it wants to triple the amount of retail space at The Center, bringing in local and national food and beverage operators. It currently has about 45,000 square feet. CP Group believes the retail will help spark leasing for the 30 floors of offices.

Former CNN Center Repositioned, Rebranded

CP Group is repositioning the 1.2 million-square-foot CNN Center, which is now available for office and retail leasing. Rebranded as “The Center,” the mixed-use development is set to become a hub of retail, dining, content creation, and entertainment at the core of downtown Atlanta’s entertainment district.

CP Group will focus on activating the ground floor, hoping to appeal to retailers and tenants seeking a historic and accessible site. Since CNN Center was occupied by its namesake tenant for nearly four decades, this leasing launch marks the first time in 40 years that office users can claim space within the iconic property.

The Center was originally built in 1976 as the Omni Complex and converted into the famed CNN Center by media mogul Ted Turner in 1986. In 2021, CP Group purchased the project from AT&T—CNN’s former parent company—via a sale leaseback that ran through 2024.
