Repositioning brings a new identity
Banyan Street Capital has launched APEX Atlanta as the new identity for the former Atlanta Financial Center, located in Buckhead. The rebranding reflects the owner’s wider repositioning strategy for the three-building Class A office campus.
The company acquired the property in July 2025 and has since started a capital improvement and repositioning program. The campus consists of three interconnected towers and totals 914,774 square feet.
APEX North to receive $4 million in improvements
The first phase of improvements focuses on APEX North, a 241,000-square-foot office tower along Peachtree Road. Banyan Street Capital is undertaking a $4 million transformation, which is expected to be completed in February 2026.
The work is part of the broader effort to reposition the campus’s office space. Newmark is handling leasing for the office components, with Craig Kalinowski, Brad Kirschner and Stewart Thrash leading the assignment for Banyan Street Capital.
Residential conversion planned for APEX South
At APEX South, an approximately 284,000-square-foot tower, Banyan Street Capital is working with a partner on a proposed redevelopment into live/work residences. The plan calls for approximately 260 residential units.
The project would add housing as Atlanta sees its lowest level of new residential deliveries since 2016, according to the source report. No timeline for the conversion was provided.
