The Equitable Building is a 35-story, 453 foot (138 m) tall office building in Atlanta, Georgia, located at 100 Peachtree Street in the Fairlie-Poplar neighborhood in Downtown Atlanta. A typical example of an International Style skyscraper, the building was designed by the architectural firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill and completed in 1968.
The building was owned by Equitable Life Assurance Society from 1968 to 1997, when it was sold to Chicago-based LaSalle Advisors for almost $36 million.
