For sale: Atlanta’s oldest skyscraper
Downtown Atlanta’s Flatiron Building is for sale, according to the high-end real estate agents who are marketing the building.
The 11-story, 112-year-old Peachtree Street tower isn’t the architectural landmark of its New York namesake. Like the more iconic Flatiron Building in New York, however, the Atlanta building is a model of early steel-frame engineering clothed in a classical, detailed facade. The New York build was completed in 1902 but the Atlanta building didn’t take the Flatiron name until later.
It’s also in a high-profile location — right on the Peachtree and Broad streets fork, near Woodruff Park. The Heery Brothers at Sotheby International are marketing the Flatiron as a potential “sustainable” landmark:
The building has 11 stories, and is Atlanta’s oldest standing skyscraper (circa 1897). The Flatiron building is protected by the city as a historic building in the Fairlie-Poplar District of downtown, and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
It’s a relatively small building: 45,000 square feet total and only 35,000 square feet of “usable” space. How much would the building set you back? They’re offering it up for $4.275 million.
