Inside the Deal: Portman Brings a Downtown Icon Home

The Architectural Firm Brings John Portman’s 73-Story Cylindrical Icon Back Under Its Wing Ahead of the 2028 Super Bowl

The 73-story glass cylinder of the Westin Peachtree Plaza has anchored the Atlanta skyline for exactly fifty years, a towering testament to the bold vision of legendary architect John C. Portman Jr.
