Eleven Hundred Preachtree Street is one of the most prominent buildings of Midtown Atlanta, Georgia.
The 28-story, 618,000 SF building is currently owned by Atlanta-based property management company Carter Associates and the San Antonio-based USAA Real Estate Co. It was previously partly owned and largely occupied by telecommunications company BellSouth providing offices for its top executives. The octagonal building has a ziggurat-like, stair-stepped top with lighting which accentuates the building at night. Completed in 1991, it is one of several buildings built in a period in Atlanta in which architects apparently attempted to one-up each other with their ornate and dramatically-lit "wedding-cake" skyscraper tops.
Eleven Hundred received the EPA "Energy Star" designation in 2000, the first high-rise in Atlanta to be so-named. Building architects were Smallwood, Reynolds, Stewart, Stewart & Associates, Inc. Besides BellSouth, the other major occupant is law firm Kilpatrick Stockton, LLP.
