Concourse at Landmark Center

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Built in phases between 1984 and 1991, the Concourse is a real estate development in Metro Atlanta's Perimeter Center business district (in the city of Sandy Springs, Georgia). It is a planned community with two 35-story office towers, several low-rise office buildings, a hotel, and a health club, all set in landscaped grounds around a man-made lake.

Set at the northeastern corner of the junction of two of Atlanta's busiest highways (Interstate 285 and GA 400), the Concourse, with its blue glass towers, is an impressive addition to the Atlanta skyline for commuters traveling to and from the north side of suburban Atlanta. It houses several corporate headquarters, including those of Rayovac. The 35-story towers are known locally as "the king and queen towers" because their white lattice crowns resemble the heads of chess pieces.

The development was designed by locally based Thompson, Ventulett, Stainback & Associates and was engineered by locally based Thompson Company, Inc.

During the month of October, the Queen tower was lit up in pink for Breast Cancer Month.
