Catalyst Capital Secures Midtown Atlanta Tenant
A law firm is moving to the recently renovated office tower.
Law firm Drew Eckl & Farnham has leased 40,124 square feet at 1375 Peachtree in Midtown Atlanta. The Catalyst Capital Group Inc. owns the property, according to Yardi Matrix data. Drew Eckl & Farnham is planning to move to the building’s sixth floor, relocating from Truist Plaza.
The move, scheduled for December this year, means that Drew Eckl & Farnham will consolidate all its Atlanta operations on one floor. The firm has more than 100 attorneys in Atlanta, Albany and St. Simons Island, Ga., and serves local and national clients in the Southeast.
1375 Peachtree is a recently repositioned, 412,000-square-foot office tower. The building’s repositioning involved a modernized façade, changes to the lobby, a fitness center and on-site dining curated by Hospitality HQ.

Both new food venues at the property—a French brasserie, Brasserie Lundi and a food hall, The Peacherie—are now open to tenants and the community.
Newmark Executive Managing Director Craig Kalinowski, Senior Managing Directors Stewart Thrash, Brad Kirschner and RJ Zurak and Associate Director Lindsay Kalski represented asset manager FullG CRE Investments, a portfolio company of The Catalyst Capital Group, in the deal. Stream Realty’s John Winter and LJ Wilhelmi represented the tenant.
Toronto-based FullG CRE is a real estate investment management firm focused on acquiring and repositioning hospitality and office assets in North America. Backed by private capital, the firm targets value-add and opportunistic investments.
Demand for Atlanta Office Up, Supply Not
Vacancy in the Atlanta office market stood at 17.9 percent as of February, according to Yardi Matrix data. That is only a little above the national average of 17.6 percent, and a marked improvement for the market since a year ago, as it is down 130 basis points since then.
At the same time, supply isn’t growing very fast. Also as of February, 406,000 square feet of office space were underway in metro Atlanta, or 0.2 percent of existing stock. That is less than most markets tracked by Yardi Matrix, especially places like Boston (with 1.5 percent of stock underway), San Diego (1.2 percent), Miami (1.1 percent) and Austin, Texas (1 percent).
One of the larger Atlanta leases so far in 2026 also involved a law firm, with Kilpatrick, Townsend & Stockton renewing its 148,000-square-foot lease at 1100 Peachtree, a 28-story Midtown office building, for another 15 years. Cushman & Wakefield represented the tenant in that deal, while JLL worked on behalf of the landlord, Spear Street Capital.
