Adds second office tower to bring together all metro Atlanta
employees and allow space for future growth
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 13, 2016--
NCR
Corporation (NYSE: NCR), a global leader in omni-channel solutions,
today announced plans to expand the new world headquarters campus under
construction in Midtown Atlanta. The expansion will add a second tower
to provide the space needed to prepare for future growth and create
innovations that will help power the digitally-connected economy.
NCR, the Georgia Department of Economic Development, and Invest Atlanta
have agreed on additional incentives that will see NCR bring over 1,800
skilled professionals to Georgia over the next five years and invest
$145 million in the second tower. NCR and Cousins Properties entered
into a long-term, build-to-suit lease for the second tower, which will
be owned and developed by Cousins, as is the first tower on the NCR
campus.
“What we are building is more than just a world headquarters campus -
this is a commitment to the City of Atlanta, the State of Georgia, our
employees, and customers that as the omni-channel leader we are focused
on a bold, bright vision for the future,” said NCR President, CEO and
Chairman Bill Nuti. “We are building a work environment that mirrors the
innovative, connected experiences we create for our customers every day.
Our campus will provide a world-class work environment for all of our
metro Atlanta employees and become a technology landmark in one of the
city’s fastest growing neighborhoods.”
“Georgia is a hotbed for leading technology companies such as NCR
because of our extensive technology sector and pro-business climate,”
said Georgia Governor Nathan Deal. “NCR is already making a significant
impact in the state’s technology industry and the company will reap the
benefits of having its headquarters in this thriving technology cluster.
NCR’s growth and expansion further proves that Georgia is on the minds
of high-tech job creators.”
Phase I of the project, which features a 20-story tower, is under
construction and is scheduled for completion in Q1 2018. Phase II, which
is in the design phase, will feature a connected, 14-story office tower
and is scheduled to be ready for occupancy in Q1 2019.
“I am pleased that NCR has chosen to further expand its global
headquarters campus in the City of Atlanta through another capital
investment in Midtown and by bringing over 1,800 skilled professionals
to our city,” said Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed. “Atlanta continues to grow
as a global technology center that offers companies access to top
talent, renowned research institutions and advanced technology
infrastructure. In our world-class business community, entrepreneurs and
executives can find everything they need to build their dreams.”
NCR’s new state-of-the-art global headquarters campus will be built to
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.
“We are excited to expand on our relationship with NCR by developing an
additional tower for their new cutting-edge corporate headquarters in
Midtown,” said President and Chief Executive Officer of Cousins
Properties, Larry Gellerstedt. “We are well underway with the first
office tower, with delivery slated for early 2018, and we plan to begin
construction on the second building by the end of the year.”
