999 Peachtree office tower off the market

Jamestown, which three months ago announced plans to sell the 28-story 999 Peachtree building at the corner of Peachtree and 10th streets, has now pulled the tower off the market.

The Atlanta Business Chronicle reported Monday that the company had been seeking offers in excess of $160 million for the 620,000-square-foot building, but now feels it can garner a higher value over the course of the next 18 to 36 months. Read more from the ABC here.

The ABC also reported Monday that Atlanta- and New York-based BLiNQ Media plans to relocate from a 2,700 square-foot space at Advance Technology Development Center to a 22,000 square-foot office in Midtown’s Promenade II office tower.

The expected December relocation will come about four months after BLiNQ Media, which assists companies advertise and engage with consumers through social media networks, was acquired by Gannett Co. Read more from the ABC here.

Midtown-based commercial real estate services provider Cassidy Turley announced Monday it has brokered the lease of 26,800 square feet of space at Buckhead’s Phipps Tower for CoStar Group, Inc., a commercial real estate information, analytic and marketing services provider.
