364,740-square-foot Class A lab/office tower, and a 14-story, 280-unit residential building,
including shared parking and ground-floor retail space.
Portal Innovations, a life sciences venture capital firm, will occupy an entire floor at
Science Square Labs, offering fully equipped lab space, seed financing, and management
expertise for start-ups.
Designed by Perkins + Will, the 13-story tower will also feature a fitness center,
conference space, an indoor/outdoor lounge with a catering kitchen, and a large deck with
skyline views.
Designed by Rule Joy Trammell + Rubio, the residential building will have a mix of
one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments with an affordable housing component and
ground-floor retail.
“With the ground-up development of Science Square, we will have the ability to provide
the infrastructure needed to capture the increasing demand for lab space generated from the
growth of research and commercialization within the life science industry,” said Kelly Fox,
Executive Vice President of Administration and Finance at Georgia Tech. “This catalytic
development will solidify Atlanta’s position as one of the top emerging life sciences markets
nationally, bringing new jobs, economic benefits, and much-needed housing and amenities
to Georgia Tech’s neighboring communities.”
Science Square Labs is slated to deliver during the first quarter of 2024. DD

Midtown Exchange project
would feature apartment,
office towers
By Collin Kelley
Developers Selig and RJTR have proposed a new mixed-use project called
Midtown Exchange on a parcel of land bounded by 12th Street, 13th Street, and
Peachtree Walk.
The Midtown Development Review Committee (DRC) got its first look at the
proposal, which would feature two towers organized around an internal courtyard — at
its April meeting.
Plans show a 37-story residential building with 465 units and street-level retail at
the corner of 13th Street and Peachtree Walk and a 26-story office tower located along
12th St.
The project would be served by a shared 10-story parking deck with 1,608 spaces
at the northeast corner of the site.
Midtown Exchange would also be adjacent to the Midtown Art Walk, a public
promenade and shared street concept that will provide an enhanced pedestrian
experience incorporating creative arts, sustainable landscaping, and unique lighting
from the Fed Plaza at 10th Street to the Woodruff Arts Center at 15 th Street.
The DRC had a long list of recommendations for the developer including
reconfiguring and reducing the size of the parking deck, creating more access points to
the courtyard, moving the residential building east to provide a greater setback along
Peachtree Walk, and more.
The DRC is expected to take up the project again at its May 10 meeting at 5:30
p.m. in the 5th-floor conference room at 999 Peachtree. DU
