Prominence Tower 3475 Piedmont Rd NE

Buckhead appeals to companies seeking high-quality office space in an established live/work/play environment. Most office inventory in Buckhead is considered high-end, and the area is home to numerous trophy office properties. The area continues to add residential density and the community is working on several projects focused on improving walkability and adding greenspace, such as the Path 400 Greenway and the proposed Park Over 400. Buckhead is a major retail destination in Atlanta, as well, and the area is home to both the Lenox and Phipps malls as well as numerous high-end restaurants. Furthermore, its location gives tenants access to the highly educated labor force in northern Atlanta that can commute to Buckhead relatively easily via highway or MARTA rail.

Buckhead has long served as the premier financial center in Atlanta, with firms such as Truist Bank, Morgan Stanley, and JPMorgan Chase maintaining significant footprints in the area. Buckhead has seen an influx of technology-focused firms over the past few years. Technology companies such as Salesforce, Global Payments, and FleetCor recently expanded in Buckhead in order to tap into the area’s highly educated workforce.

Despite Buckhead’s prime location and high-quality inventory, properties often rent for slightly less than comparable office buildings in the nearby Midtown district.
