Kabat Chapman & Ozmer, the Atlanta-founded litigation boutique, is packing up its Atlanta office at Atlantic Station and heading a few blocks east to the 14th & Spring tower in Midtown. The move gives landlord Shorenstein another professional-services name to help anchor a building it has been upgrading to win over office users in a choppy market.
As first reported by the Atlanta Business Chronicle on June 9, the firm has signed a lease at 14th & Spring and expects to depart Atlantic Station in the coming months. The Business Chronicle reported that the deal makes Kabat Chapman & Ozmer the building's fourth announced tenant, a small but notable vote of confidence for the Midtown office strip.
City permit filings list Kabat Chapman & Ozmer as the applicant for electrical, HVAC and plumbing work at 1150 Spring St., signaling that a buildout of Suite 800 is underway. Those permit entries show up in public records compiled on Realtor.com, giving a paper trail of the firm's Midtown plans.
14th & Spring's Repositioning
Shorenstein kicked off a capital repositioning at the 12-story, roughly 324,000-square-foot 14th & Spring after acquiring the tower in July 2024, rolling out a renovated lobby, first-floor amenities and spec suites aimed at professional and tech tenants. According to a Shorenstein press release distributed via PR Newswire, the owner has already leased about 100,000 square feet in the building, including a three-floor relocation by engineering firm HNTB.
Where KCO Is Coming From
Kabat Chapman & Ozmer currently lists its Atlanta address as 171 17th Street NW, Suite 1550, an Atlantic Station building, on the firm's website. The relocation shifts the firm's space from Atlantic Station into Midtown's core, where landlords have been leaning on upgraded amenity packages and spec suites to reel in professional-services tenants.
Permit activity and the landlord's renovation work suggest the firm could land in its Midtown offices once the buildout wraps, adding to a run of professional tenants opting for refreshed space along the corridor.
