In Midtown Atlanta, the 1105 West Peachtree project stands out as a modern mixed-use destination shaped by the kind of behind-the-scenes planning and engineering that makes ambitious projects work. Pape-Dawson (as Eberly & Associates) supported this development by preparing the Development of Regional Impact (DRI) application, managing the process, and delivering civil master planning and civil engineering services for the new 645,000-square-foot project on a 3.5-acre site.
Guiding a Complex Project Through the DRI Process
Large-scale projects often require more than great architecture—they demand clear navigation through approvals, documentation, and multi-agency coordination. For 1105 West Peachtree, Pape-Dawson’s team prepared the DRI application and managed the process, helping keep a complex development moving forward with the rigor and responsiveness required for high-profile urban work.
Civil Master Planning Built for a Dense, Mixed-Use Site
On a compact Midtown footprint, the “site” is more than sidewalks and utilities—it’s a tightly layered system where circulation, grading, and infrastructure must align with building massing and public-space goals. Pape-Dawson provided civil master planning and civil engineering services for a multi-building development designed to bring office, residential, hospitality, and retail uses together in one cohesive environment.
A Mixed-Use Program Designed Around Experience
1105 West Peachtree is anchored by a 32-story tower with office space, supported by 80 residential units, a 150-room boutique hotel, and street-level retail. The result is a place that’s not just about getting to work—it’s about arriving into an active district where the day can flow from meetings to amenities to dining and outdoor space without leaving the site.
A defining element of the project is how its buildings connect. The development’s components are linked by an almost 1-acre landscaped, park-like plaza located atop a multi-level parking deck—turning what could have been purely structural space into a shared outdoor environment that supports comfort, community, and the kind of everyday usability that modern tenants increasingly value.
Elevating the Public Realm With the Art Walk Connection
Next-generation office experiences don’t stop at the lobby—they extend into the streetscape and pedestrian network that surrounds the workplace. Pape-Dawson’s team also provided landscape architecture services for the Art Walk connection at 1105 West Peachtree, creating a pedestrian-friendly link to the culturally focused Midtown Artwalk located between the Midtown and Arts Center MARTA Stations. According to the project description, the corridor incorporates artistic elements, creative landscape, and lighting to enrich user experience and bring new energy to a space that previously felt ordinary.
That emphasis on walkability and placemaking matters. By strengthening the connection to a major cultural corridor and transit access, the Art Walk helps the development function as a truly urban workplace—one where movement, visibility, and comfort support both day-to-day commuting and the broader identity of Midtown.
A Blueprint for High-Performance Delivery in Urban Growth Markets
Projects like 1105 West Peachtree highlight what it takes to deliver complex development in fast-evolving city districts: disciplined entitlement coordination, master planning that anticipates constraints, and engineering that supports both constructability and long-term performance. The same attention to process and integrated site thinking that supports signature mixed-use work also informs Pape-Dawson residential land development. In Atlanta, Georgia, that range helps owners and communities move from vision to reality with confidence.
As employers and cities continue to rethink what “office” should mean, 1105 West Peachtree reflects a clear direction: workplaces that feel connected, human-scaled, and experience-driven—supported by strong planning, engineering, and landscape architecture at every layer of the project.
