The development will feature Nobu Hotel and Restaurant Atlanta, along with a 90,000 square-foot Life Time fitness club and a 13-story, 350,000 square foot Class A office building dubbed One Phipps Plaza. Mall owners Simon selected The Beck Group as the architect and general contractor for the redevelopment, with a phased opening beginning in early 2021.
