Overview

As one of the largest developments in metro Atlanta’s history, State Farm’s new corporate office building is complete. This project includes a 13 story office tower over 12 levels of parking, and is fully integrated with the MARTA people mover system. It also includes a new MARTA connector building that is constructed in between the uptown and downtown tracks. A direct connection through the office tower’s main lobby to the new MARTA connector reinforces a walkable, live–work–play corporate environment.

About the project

One of the largest challenges we faced early on was how to construct a 50 foot deep basement with half of it being below the water table. Additionally, the edge of the deep excavation is directly adjacent to the fully operational MARTA tracks, creating multiple complex issues that were resolved only through a truly collaborative, owner, architect, engineer, builder effort.

Completed in 2020, the superstructure includes a 23 story and 19 story office building with below and above grade parking. The 1.5 million square feet includes more office space divided between additional office towers and another below grade parking deck providing spaces for over 7,000 cars. The total built area is over 3 million square feet.

State Farm Park Center is the largest corporate office project in Atlanta’s metro history, set to house at least 8,000 employees. This project will give Dunwoody more of an urban, mixed-use environment by creating a city center with close proximity to the MARTA stations.
