Balfour Beatty Construction to Build High-rise Residential Tower in Midtown Atlanta

ATLANTA, Ga. – The Related Group has selected Balfour Beatty Construction to build its new luxury, mixed-use residential tower in the heart of Midtown Atlanta, Georgia. Located at West Peachtree and 14th St.,, the 39-story tower will become the tallest residential tower project built in Atlanta since 2009.

The Related Group’s Midtown Atlanta project will feature 390 luxury apartments with 6,500 square feet of retail space. The property will feature a pool terrace with clubroom amenities and a fire pit terrace on the 39th floor. Ideally situated in the gateway to Atlanta’s Arts District, Piedmont Park and the Midtown business district, residents will also enjoy convenient access to Whole Foods Market’s planned pub, microbrewery and cooking school, in addition to a variety of neighborhood restaurants.

To maximize efficiency and manage costs, the Balfour Beatty team is leveraging Lean construction methods and the latest technologies to deliver the project. The building’s window wall system will be manufactured offsite, along with various other mechanical systems, to help accelerate the project timeline. The team is using Building Information Modeling  technology to maximize efficient coordination with trade partners and to mitigate potential challenges well before installing mechanical systems or the building’s skin. Designed by architecture firm Smallwood, Reynolds, Steward, Stewart, the project is scheduled for final completion in first quarter 2018.
