Georgia Tech and developer Portman Holdings on Thursday celebrated the opening of Coda, the latest addition to Midtown’s Technology Square, hailing the tower as an epicenter for new ideas and technologies.
In the works for several years, the 21-story Coda project, a glassy, L-shaped building, stands between Spring and West Peachtree streets, just north of 4th Street. It features 645,000 square feet of office space and 22,000 square feet of public-accessible, ground-floor restaurant and retail space.

Coda could be described as ground zero for Georgia Tech’s infiltration into Midtown. Ever since the university announced with developer Portman Holdings that it planned to occupy half of what is described as a high-performance computing tower, Midtown has become the hottest market for office development. The $375M tower is the crown jewel in what has become a high-tech corridor in Atlanta, complete with a major data center.

The development is a key addition to the school’s Tech Square, a mini-neighborhood in Midtown planned in the early 2000s as a hub for education, operations, and real-world learning.
