Description
With this project, Cornerstone breathed life into a long-vacant Hitachi R&D facility, transforming it into a modern, multi-tenant space. The Catalyst Building in Peachtree Corners was an extensive capital repositioning project that showcased Cornerstone’s ability to create cutting-edge spaces. The project began with early collaboration during the design development stage, where Cornerstone provided crucial budget planning and selective demolition services. This early involvement allowed the team to assess the feasibility of major structural modifications and offer value-engineered solutions that aligned with the owner’s vision. The comprehensive renovation encompassed interior overhauls, structural changes, parking expansion, and exterior upgrades, revitalizing the 76,000-square-foot, two-story building.
The centerpiece of the interior renovation is a dramatic two-story atrium featuring a floating communicating staircase. This architectural statement required the removal of approximately 450 square feet of elevated slab, creating a striking open space that connects both floors. Complementing this feature is a two-story wood wall with an integrated floating ceiling, polished concrete floors, and sleek linear suspended LED lighting. These elements combine to create a contemporary, innovative atmosphere that is reflected throughout the building. Additional updates include a new common area hallway with two pairs of battery restrooms, enhancing the building’s functionality for potential multi-tenant use.
With its striking interior features and thoughtfully upgraded exterior, the Catalyst Building now stands as a testament to modern design and adaptive reuse. The new hardscape and landscape package, complete with outdoor accent lighting and poured seating areas, seamlessly ties the interior renovations to the building’s refreshed exterior presence.
