NEW YORK, Feb. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Cohen & Steers, Inc. (NYSE: CNS) announced today that the Private Real Estate Group of Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. ("Cohen & Steers") and CP Group, the second-largest office landlord in Atlanta, completed a joint venture acquisition of Buckhead Centre in Atlanta, Georgia.

Situated on 4.5 acres along Peachtree Road in Atlanta's Buckhead Village neighborhood, Buckhead Centre is a two-building office project totaling 169,000 square feet with significant redevelopment potential. The property is surrounded by high-end amenity retail and one of Atlanta's leading executive housing neighborhoods. Cohen & Steers believes the amount of in-migration and corporate relocations coming from other cities should assist in keeping occupancy high and creating future income streams, providing for redevelopment opportunities and value creation for investors.

James S. Corl, Head of Private Real Estate at Cohen & Steers, said:
Buckhead Centre is a great example of a well-located 'surban' property offering the appeal of a highly attractive suburban lifestyle combined with urban-like amenities. We believe there is tremendous value in select Sunbelt properties like Buckhead Centre as business leaders and consumers are making new choices in how and where they work, live, play and shop.

Chris Eachus, Partner at CP Group, said:
Buckhead Centre is an incredibly desirable office product in the heart of one of the most coveted and well amenitized neighborhoods in the southeastern U.S. This location presented an ideal opportunity for us to partner with the principals of Cohen & Steers' Private Real Estate Group, with whom we've had a very successful relationship for more than 25 years.

CP Group serves as the operating partner and property manager.
