German industrial conglomerate Thyssenkrupp will have its elevator division building the tallest such lift in Cobb County as it moves forward on an estimated $240 million facility inside The Battery Atlanta near SunTrust Park.

One of the world’s largest elevator companies, Thyssenkrupp officials along with representatives of the BRED Co LLC, the Braves's real estate development arm, announced Thursday morning the German company’s plans to build a new North American headquarters on a 4.8-acre property adjacent to and north of Interstate 285 and on the south side of Circle 75 Parkway. The land is owned by BRED.

Upon completion, which is anticipated in the first quarter of 2022, the Elevator Americas Complex, as it has been named, will include three facilities anchored by a 420-foot-tall elevator qualification and test tower, the tallest of its kind in the country and one of the tallest in the world.

The Elevator Americas Complex, when completed, is expected to house more than 900 full-time employees, or about 6 percent of Thyssenkrupp Elevator Americas’ total workforce across North America.
