Retail and office leasing is also well underway through brokerage firms Hines and CBRE. Several new food and beverage purveyors, including a new-to-market, 10,000-square-foot (930 sq m) restaurant, will be announced shortly, and the office space is being actively marketed to several major users, Eachus says.
Phase one completion of the entrances is set for the end of 2025, just in time for The Center to have its first major closeup before a global community as Atlanta plays host to several World Cup soccer matches next summer. “We will have some spaces activated for the World Cup, which we’re really excited about, and it will be a great way to get visibility [in] the global market,” Eachus says.
A potential multifamily conversion of the office space in as many as half of the four tower components that stand along Centennial Olympic Park Drive is also being studied through a cost and economics analysis, according to Eachus.
North Entry—One of The Center’s main entries is being reconfigured along the North side of the building to open up to the Georgia World Congress Center.

Certainly looks better than the brutalist bunker that we have there now:
Compared with what's currently there, it's really just a facelift. Accent lighting and a mural to make the concrete bunker parts look a little better, and then some floor to ceiling glass for the ground floor retail. Plus what looks like a rooftop lounge/dining area. I mean, I'll take the improvements, but it's not a radical change.
In an interview with Tim Wright, the head of CP Group said that announcements are coming soon and that about 100,000 square feet of the retail space is taken. As a side note, he mentioned that they are planning something "very exciting" for the B of A tower which they also own.
