ATLANTA — CP Group has rebranded CNN Center, an iconic 1.2 million-square-foot office and retail building in downtown Atlanta, to The Center. The property has served as the headquarters for CNN for over 40 years and also features a large food court on the ground level that connects to State Farm Arena, home arena of the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks. The site also includes the Omni Atlanta Hotel at Centennial Park. CP Group plans to overhaul the former CNN Center to become a hub of world-class retail, dining, content creation and entertainment uses. CP Group has tapped Coleman Weatherholtz of Healey Weatherholtz Properties as The Center’s retail leasing agent and Jeff Keppen and Nicole Goldsmith of CBRE to handle office leasing. In 2021, CP Group purchased CNN Center from AT&T, the former parent company of CNN, in a sale-leaseback transaction that expires this year.

CLINTON TOWNSHIP, MICH. — Andiamo Pasta & Chops will open at The Mall at Partridge Creek in Clinton Township, a northern suburb of Detroit. The restaurant comes from Michigan-based Joe Vicari Restaurant Group. The concept will be something new for Michigan restaurants, but the idea will be mirrored off Joe Vicari’s Andiamo Italian Steakhouse in Las Vegas. Andiamo Pasta & Chops is slated to open this summer in the 7,670-square-foot space formerly home to Brio Italian Grille at 17430 Hall Road. Renovation plans call for the space to be completely redesigned and reconfigured around a central bar, which will become the centerpiece of the new restaurant. There will also be a lounge area, two dining rooms and a separate banquet area. The Mall at Partridge Creek is a 640,000-square-foot, open-air shopping center that is home to more than 80 stores, restaurants and entertainment sites.
