Tuesday, January 17th, 2023
Zeller and Partners Group, a leading global private markets firm, acting on behalf of its clients, have selected JLL to lease Resurgens Plaza, a 402,929-square-foot, Class-A office tower in Buckhead – one of the submarket’s most sustainable office buildings. JLL Executive Vice President David Horne and Associate Alexis Easterling will lead leasing efforts for the tower, while working in close collaboration with the firm’s Sustainability and Workplace Strategy teams.
Located at 945 East Paces Ferry Road, Resurgens Plaza is a 27-story office building that connects people, place and purpose. Zeller and Partners Group have made significant investments in the tower, focused on enhancing the workplace experience by prioritizing sustainability, wellness and connectivity. The building is situated above the Lenox MARTA Station’s Gold Line and provides direct access to PATH400. The private 14th floor green rooftop terrace provides tenants with an outdoor collaboration space and sweeping views of the Atlanta skyline. Additionally, a state-of-the-art, 6,000-square-foot fitness studio offers lockers, showers and private and reservable studio spaces, and electric bikes are available for tenants. Resurgens Plaza has achieved LEED Gold Certification, WiredScore Gold Certification, BOMA 360 Designation, WELL HSR Recertifications, Fitwel 3-star Certification and a 96 ENERGY STAR® score and label.
Resurgens Plaza has also partnered with Bee Downtown to house more than 100,000 honeybees, enclosed in three custom painted beehives. The initiative helps to promote the continuous efforts of biophilia – the innate human desire to connect to nature and the outdoors – and sustainability within the building and the Buckhead community.
“Resurgens Plaza provides a working community that not only resets the pace, but also redefines the finish line,” said Kristen Bruggeman of Zeller. “The nature of work is changing, and employees are looking for flexibility and inspiration within their offices – a place that lives in between home and the bounds of the workplace. With support from JLL, we’re confident that we will successfully continue to attract top companies to Resurgens Plaza and create a synergistic office experience that businesses and their employees want to be at.”
Michael Hrenya-Wood, Private Real Estate Americas, Partners Group, said: "The strong ESG and sustainability credentials of Resurgens Plaza reflects Partners Group's broader focus on delivering positive stakeholder impact across our private real estate portfolio. We believe the asset's state-of-the-art amenities, outdoor collaboration space, and excellent location near Atlanta's vibrant commercial district position it well in the current market."
