Manulife US Real Estate Investment Trust announced that it has secured a 65-month renewal for Kilpatrick Townsend, the tenant at its 1100 Peachtree property in Midtown Atlanta and Must's fourth largest tenant. Kilpatrick Townsend has been a major tenant in 1100 Peachtree since 1992. Its lease term was due to expire on July 31, 2025.

The lease renewal will now see its lease expire on December 31, 2030. The Atlanta-headquartered international law firm's current floor plate makes up about a third of the net lettable area at 1100 Peachtree. Kilpatrick Townsend's renewal and long-term commitment to the building validates Must's commitment to undertake a renovation of the ground floor and common spaces of the building, with completion expected in 2025.

This will include a complete renovation of the lobby, elevator cabs, upgraded landscaping and hardscaping of the building exteriors, a new glass storefront system at the building entrance and the addition of an upscale coffee bar in the lobby. This asset enhancement, which was announced in November 2022, is expected to cost USD 18 million. artist impression of the renovated main lobby and elevator cabs.
