Buckhead’s massive Piedmont Center complex is in line for a serious makeover, and this time it is aiming for scrubs and stethoscopes instead of suits and briefcases.
On Monday, Boca Raton-based developer CP Group rolled out plans to convert the southern edge of the 14-building, 46-acre campus into a new medical hub called Buckhead Medical Center. Four existing buildings would be repurposed into Class A medical office space set up for imaging and surgical uses and equipped with patient-facing amenities. It is the most visible step yet in a larger effort to layer in street-level retail, dining and amenity hubs across the property.
As reported by Urbanize Atlanta, Buckhead Medical Center will occupy the four southernmost buildings on the campus, the portion formerly known as The Fountains at Piedmont Center, centered at 3495 Piedmont Road. Plans call for a new patient drop-off area, a dedicated pharmacy, an upgraded onsite café, digital wayfinding throughout the buildings, a physicians’ lounge and reserved parking. CP Group says the buildings are already configured to support imaging and surgical operations. Design work is being led by Smallwood, ASD|SKY and placemaking firm Of Place.
Master plan, spec suites and leasing push
In a press release via Business Wire, CP Group outlined a broader rebrand of the 2.2-million-square-foot campus. The plan calls for a walkable retail and dining corridor at street level along Piedmont Road, with at least six restaurants, plus roughly 42,000 square feet of move-in-ready speculative office suites.
The press release notes recent leasing momentum at Piedmont Center and says Stream Realty Partners has been tapped to market large blocks of space to private practice groups and health systems. To lure medical tenants that want plug-and-play space, CP Group intends to deliver at least one full floor of speculative medical suites this year.
Where this fits in Buckhead real estate
CP Group acquired Piedmont Center at a foreclosure auction in June 2025, paying roughly $200 million for what The Atlanta Journal-Constitution describes as Buckhead’s largest office complex. The deal followed a previous owner’s stalled redevelopment plans. Since taking over, CP Group has been layering in pop-ups and tenant amenities as it tries to reposition the campus.
The purchase is one more data point in a broader trend of investors rethinking older office parks as mixed-use and healthcare-oriented destinations rather than traditional, single-use corporate campuses.
What neighbors and tenants can expect
CP Group’s property materials highlight the sheer size and access of the site, noting existing fitness centers, conference facilities and a 1.2-mile walking trail. The master plan adds new greenspace, a centralized amenity hub and refreshed lobbies to that mix.
The firm is also leaning on the campus’ proximity to GA-400 and Buckhead’s core retail district as a selling point for medical operators looking for visibility and easy patient access. Renovations are slated to roll out in phases across all 14 buildings. CP Group has not released a full construction schedule or detailed how much capital it expects to pour into the overhaul.
Local market and next steps
CP Group founding partner Chris Eachus told Urbanize Atlanta the company has “identified a market gap for large blocks of space” that private practices and health systems are hunting for. For nearby residents, the early, tangible changes are likely to be new restaurants and improved shared amenities on the campus. For medical providers, the headline will be turnkey clinical space that can handle imaging and surgical functions without lengthy build-outs.
CP Group and its leasing team say speculative suites are scheduled to arrive this year as marketing ramps up, though specific tenant move-in dates have not been announced. Additional details were included in the company’s press release.
