Google Announces Plans For New 19-Floor Midtown Office Space

ATLANTA — Google is opening a new office in Midtown as a part of plans to invest more than $25 million in Georgia.

Construction is currently underway for the internet giant’s 19-floor Atlanta footprint at the 1105 West Peachtree office building — where a damaged construction crane closed off the street for a short period last month — and Google officials said the company will take over five of the floors beginning in 2022. The company will move to the remaining floors over the subsequent years.

“I believe a lasting economic recovery will come from local communities, and the people and small businesses that give them life,” said Sundar Pichai, CEO, Google and Alphabet. “Google wants to be a part of that recovery. That’s why we plan to invest over $7 billion in offices and data centers across the U.S. and create at least 10,000 new full-time Google jobs in the U.S. this year.”

Google has had a presence in Georgia since 2003 with more than 600 employees across the state, including those working at the current Midtown office and a data center in Douglasville.

“Google’s presence in Georgia is a testament to the strength of our people and our economy,” Gov. Brian Kemp in a statement. “As the No. 1 State for Business, we are at the center of innovation, development, and entrepreneurship, thanks in part to the work being done and supported by Google. We appreciate their continued investment, and I know this partnership will continue to strengthen, educate, and support opportunities for hardworking Georgians for generations to come.”
