Kilpatrick Commits To Huge Atlanta Office For 15 More Years: The Atlanta Deal Sheet
Atlanta’s third-largest law firm is staying put at 1100 Peachtree.
Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP renewed 148K SF at the 28-story, 584K SF tower in Midtown with new landlord Spear Street Capital, JLL said in a press release.
Cushman & Wakefield Executive Directors Sam Hollis, John Izard and Ken Ashley, along with Senior Director Christian Taylor, represented Kilpatrick. JLL Executive Managing Director Brooke Dewey and Vice President Alexis Vondersaar brokered the deal for Spear Street.
The move comes two years after the law firm renewed its then more-than-150K SF lease with then-landlord Manulife US REIT for five more years. The Singapore-traded REIT sold 1100 Peachtree to Spear Street last year for $133.7M.
Kilpatrick signed a 15-year deal for its space, according to JLL.
The firm also clocked the second-largest office deal in Metro Atlanta in the final quarter of 2025, according to Savills. The largest was Bank of America’s 230K SF renewal at 6000 Feldwood Road in Atlanta.
Companies leased 2.4M SF in the metro area in the fourth quarter, the highest quarterly total for 2025 and surpassing the five-year quarterly average of 1.9M SF.
LEASING
Roofing accessories maker OmniMax International renewed 231K SF at River Green Business Park in Duluth, part of a three-lease transaction the company undertook with renewals in Sacramento, California, and Ivyland, Pennsylvania.
Transwestern’s Clark Dean, Thomas Savage, Cody Lolakis, Bradley Fulkerson and Austin Hibbard represented OmniMax in the deals.
SALES
New York-based Mural Partners paid in excess of $20M for two Fulton County retail properties formerly co-owned by the widow of the late Georgia Rep. Pat Swindall.
Mural purchased the 140K SF GreenBriar Marketplace for $16.5M and the 51K SF The Shoppes of Greenbriar for $6.2M from co-owners Kimberly Swindall and Heritage Capitol Partners, according to Fulton County records in the Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority database.
Marcus & Millichap’s Salim Valiani brokered the sale.
As Bisnow previously reported, Mural plans to redevelop the property with more than 1,000 apartment units and 250K SF of new retail space. Mural obtained a $5M acquisition loan from Invest Atlanta, the city’s economic development arm, in July.
Swindall is the wife of the two-term Republican U.S. congressman, who died in 2018 at the age of 67.
Mural — which also obtained a $500M bond incentive to save more than $23M in property taxes in January from the Fulton County Economic Development department — plans to develop the $600M project in two phases beginning in 2027.
Under Mural's plans, 15% of the residential units will be held aside for households earning 80% of the area median income.

Atlanta-based RangeWater is pursuing a massive housing community off Northside Drive.
The firm applied for a land disturbance permit for 99 Northside Drive, between the Mercedes-Benz stadium and Clark Atlanta University. In turn, RangeWater is seeking to develop 13 buildings in five phases, including 286 apartment units, three carriage home buildings with two units each, and eight townhouses, according to the application filed with the city of Atlanta.
PERSONNEL
Atlanta-based CRE investment firm Stonemont has tapped Mike Patel as its chief operating officer, tasked with overseeing the firm’s internal operations and expanding its investment footprint. Patel was previously Stonemont’s general counsel.
Stonemont, which has a portfolio of more than 17M SF in industrial assets and $375M in healthcare projects, also recently appointed Jack Altmeyer as executive vice president and head of portfolio management.
