Atlanta’s Bank of America Plaza is immediately recognizable on the Midtown skyline from any approach for its signature 23-karat gold-leafed spire with a lighted, open-grid, stepped-pyramid roof. The building has long been noted for its premier status among Atlanta’s elite business addresses, said BentleyForbes Chairman C. Frederick Wehba. “It is also widely recognized for its roster of notable tenants, which currently include Bank of America, Troutman Sanders, Paul Hastings, Boston Consulting, Hunton & Williams, and Frazier & Deeter.” One of Atlanta’s top 10 accounting firms, Frazier & Deeter LLC, signed a long-term lease in Bank of America Plaza to expand from 50,000 to 60,000 square feet. “What you have is a major tenant that could have gone anywhere in the marketplace, but it concluded that Bank of America Plaza is still a phenomenal asset for them.” said David W. Cobb, CEO of Bentley Forbes.

And to be part of the development of the Midtown Mile is clearly another reason we are doing this.”
