NAP Unveils Big Vision for Midtown Atlanta

ATLANTA—In Dec. 2015, North American Properties and Lionstone Investments acquired Colony Square, the first mixed-use project developed in Atlanta in 1968. At the corner of Peachtree and 14th Streets—or Main and Main Atlanta—Colony Square is not only the heart of Midtown, it’s the heart of Atlanta. Indeed, it’s an original icon at the very center of the ever-rising capital of the modern South.

Today, Colony Square is hoping to evolve to become an icon of another kind, bringing the “Art of Modern Life” to Midtown. With two office towers totaling 720,000 square feet, residential condos, a 467-room hotel and a 163,000-square-foot retail center, the North American Properties team, helmed by Mark Toro, is transforming Colony Square into a sophisticated business, residential and cultural hotspot, that like all great city squares, is alive with possibility.
