The new campus brings together all metro Atlanta employees and
creates space for future growth
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 8, 2018--
NCR
Corporation (NYSE: NCR), a global leader in omni-channel solutions,
today opened its new global headquarters campus in Midtown Atlanta. The
two-tower campus will provide the space needed to prepare for future
growth and create innovations that will help power the
digitally-connected economy.
In total, NCR’s new headquarters will be home to approximately 5,000
skilled professionals. The state-of-the-art campus will be roughly
750,000 square feet of space, comprised of two office towers situated at
the corner of 8th and Spring Streets in the heart of
burgeoning Midtown Atlanta. Employees will begin moving into the first
tower today, with the second tower opening later this year.
NCR and Cousins Properties entered a long-term, build-to-suit lease for
the campus, which will be owned and developed by Cousins. Construction
of the first tower began in November 2015. In September 2016, NCR
announced it would expand the campus and build a second tower. NCR
partnered with the Georgia Department of Economic Development and Invest
Atlanta on development of the campus to create $450 million of public
and private investment in Midtown Atlanta.
“This Campus symbolizes the power of reinvention. It celebrates the
innovators, dreamers, and problem-solvers who walk through our doors
every day and have the courage to build a better tomorrow,” said NCR
Chairman and CEO Bill Nuti. “Our move to Midtown is part of our vision
for transforming Atlanta into the Silicon Valley of the East.”
“Georgia is a hotbed for leading technology companies such as NCR
because of our extensive technology infrastructure, access to a skilled
workforce and pro-business climate,” said Georgia Governor Nathan Deal.
“NCR is already making a significant impact in the state’s technology
industry sector and the company will reap the benefits of having its
headquarters in this thriving technology cluster near our universities.
NCR’s growth and expansion further proves that Georgia is on the minds
of high-tech job creators.”
“I am pleased that NCR has chosen the City of Atlanta for its new
headquarters, and this major capital investment that will bring over
5,000 skilled jobs to Midtown,” said Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms.
“Atlanta is a global technology center that offers companies access to
top talent, renowned research institutions and advanced technology
infrastructure. I look forward to working with Mr. Nuti and everyone at
NCR as we continue to strengthen Atlanta’s role as a premier global tech
and innovation hub. The opening of NCR’s new corporate campus represents
another major step towards that goal.”
The global headquarters will enable optimal collaboration and teamwork;
feature the technology and tools to support the changing nature of how,
when and where work is done; and excite and inspire employees and
customers. The campus will feature such amenities as dining options and
outdoor seating, coffee bar, gym, informal spaces that spark creativity,
and a large lecture space. It will become the permanent home for the NCR
Innovation Lab and continue the already robust partnership between NCR
and Georgia Tech, as the organizations are now located side-by-side in
the center of Atlanta’s Technology Square.
“We are proud to have helped NCR achieve their vision for a new
cutting-edge corporate headquarters in Midtown,” said Chairman of the
Board and Chief Executive Officer of Cousins Properties, Larry
Gellerstedt. “This level of investment in Midtown Atlanta by a global
technology leader helps to highlight the bright future for our city.”
“Gensler is excited to partner with NCR on the design of their new
Midtown campus,” says Stephen Swicegood, principal and managing director
of Gensler’s Atlanta office. “This state-of-the-art headquarters is a
sign of Atlanta’s growing tech sector and incorporates the latest trends
and best practices in workplace strategy and design.”
