Cousins Properties Incorporated announced that it has completed the disposition of One Ninety One Peachtree, a 1.2 million square foot, Class A office tower in downtown Atlanta, for a gross price of $268 million.

"One Ninety One Peachtree is an iconic Atlanta landmark and has become the office location of choice in our vibrant downtown community," said Larry Gellerstedt, president and chief executive officer of Cousins. "Cousins is proud to have been a part of downtown Atlanta's resurgence over the last ten years, and by remaining as the property manager for One Ninety One Peachtree going forward, we are excited to continue our relationship with our customers, the new owner and the downtown community."
