JLL and Spear Street Capital (Spear Street) today announced that Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP(Kilpatrick) has renewed its 148,000-square-foot lease at 1100 Peachtree, reinforcing its decades-long presence in Midtown by recommitting to a term of 15 years. Cushman & Wakefield Executive Directors Sam Hollis, John Izard and Ken Ashley and Senior Director Christian Taylor represented Kilpatrick in the transaction. JLL Executive Managing Director Brooke Dewey and Vice President Alexis Vondersaar lead leasing for 1100 Peachtree on behalf of Spear Street.

 “This renewal is a testament to ownership’s commitment to operational excellence, which has successfully created a best-in-class workplace experience at 1100 Peachtree,” said JLL’s Dewey. “The deal marks one of the largest transactions in Midtown this year, highlighting the competitive advantage of the building’s amenities, dynamic F&B options and a prime location in the heart of Atlanta’s innovation corridor.” 

Spear Street acquired the 28-story, 584,066-square-foot tower in May 2025, recognizing the opportunity to add value to the asset through strategic capital improvements. A $14 million lobby renovation delivered in June, introducing upgraded finishes, expanded soft seating, collaborative work zones and curated artwork. Construction is underway on a full refresh of the building’s conference center and fitness center, with completion scheduled for Q1 2026. Fogarty Finger’s Atlanta design team was engaged for the building’s redesign and modernizations. 1100 Peachtree is currently 76% leased, supported by its walkability and connectivity to Midtown.

“The spectacular renovations at 1100 Peachtree truly reflect Kilpatrick’s reputation as a tech-focused law firm counseling the world’s most innovative companies,” said Wab Kadaba, Kilpatrick Chair. “We are particularly excited about our reimagined 28^th floor capping the building that includes high-tech amenities, a courtroom, numerous collaboration spaces, and enhanced access to 360-degree views of the city. Kilpatrick attorneys and professional staff look forward to being a part of the vibrant Midtown community for years to come.”

Spear Street is also enhancing 1100 Peachtree’s street-level experience with new food and beverage concepts. Dos Cominos, a vibrant Mexico City-inspired concept from New York City, will open in January 2026. Paris Baguette, the globally recognized bakery café, will open later in 2026, bringing fresh pastries, gourmet sandwiches and craft beverages to tenants and the surrounding Midtown community.

“By investing in thoughtful upgrades and modern amenities, we are creating a building that not only meets tenant needs today, but also strengthens Midtown’s standing as a premier destination for businesses for years to come,” said Laura Dunn, Managing Director for Spear Street.

According to JLL’s Q3 2025 Atlanta Office Report, the market continued to gain momentum last quarter, recording 348,000 square feet of positive net absorption and marking the second consecutive quarter of occupancy growth. As demonstrated by Kilpatrick’s long-term renewal, tenants continue to seek premium and highly amenitized office environments. With a limited development pipeline, Atlanta’s office market is positioned for continued growth as companies prioritize modern, well-located workplace environments.
