55 Allen Plaza, in downtown Atlanta, is the regional headquarters of Ernst & Young and other large corporate tenants, and the building conveys a commensurate stature in the downtown skyline, clad in lightly reflective glass, granite and aluminum. A dramatically lit glass and aluminum crown adds distinction to a neighborhood now filling with Fortune-500 companies, residences and institutions, including the Georgia Aquarium.

Inside the building, floor-to-ceiling vision glass provides expansive views of the city from every office level. The generous floor area of each office level overlooks a landscaped entry plaza. And, at street level, stores serve those who live or work in this fast-growing neighborhood, adding urbanity and activity to the sidewalk scene.
