Midtown Atlanta’s gutted 20-story high-rise flagged unsafe by city inspectors
TL;DR Summary
City inspectors say the abandoned 20-story building at 1155 Peachtree Street NE is unsafe, with the structure substantially gutted and three unsecured gaps in the perimeter, plus two covered walkways featuring uneven, displaced paver sections that create trip hazards. Permits for the site expired in October 2025, and the hazards must be addressed promptly. Mayor Andre Dickens warned owners to follow the law and indicated the issue could lead to litigation as authorities pursue remediation.
