Atlanta’s largest daily newspaper is moving back to the city.
Promenade Central in Midtown, soon to be the new home of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is moving back inside the Perimeter after more than a decade in the suburbs. The newspaper inked a 21K SF lease at Promenade Central in Midtown for its newsroom and studio, the paper reported.
The AJC’s move is seen as helping it achieve 500,000 paid digital subscribers by the end of 2026, AJC Publisher and President Andrew Morse told the paper.
“It’s really important to be at the beating heart of the city,” Morse said.
The paper moved to Central Perimeter in 2009 to be closer to its parent company’s headquarters. Before then, the AJC was in Downtown Atlanta for 140 years, including at 72 Marietta St.
The AJC is expected to move into Promenade Central by the end of the year. CBRE Executive Vice President Eric Ross and Director Rusty Kigelman brokered the deal for the AJC.
