Plans for CNN Center announced
The CP Group has announced what it plans to do with the former CNN Center in downtown Atlanta. They plan to turn it into a hub for shopping, dining and media production.
ATLANTA - More than a year after the iconic "CNN" letters were removed from the network’s former downtown headquarters, plans for the building’s future have been unveiled. Watch full video.
Real estate firm CP Group plans to redevelop the site into a mixed-use destination called "The Center," featuring shopping, dining, and media production facilities. The project will include 230,000 square feet of retail space and nearly 1 million square feet for office and media production.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, a "confidential, high-end" restaurant will be taking over 10,000 square feet of the retail space.
One restaurant, McCormick & Schmick’s, an upscale steak and seafood chain, already operates in the building.
CNN officially relocated to the Techwood campus in Midtown Atlanta, leaving the downtown space open for redevelopment. No timeline has been announced for the project’s completion.
