ATLANTA — Worldpay, a London-based provider of payments technology and services to merchants, partners and developers, has announced its plan to relocate its U.S. headquarters and 671 employees to Atlantic Station in Atlanta. The company also plans to add 600 jobs over the next four years. The company will occupy 130,000 square feet of office space over six floors at the 201 17th St. office building. Worldpay will invest nearly $10 million in the relocation, which will begin in March 2015 and continue into 2016. Worldpay received a $1.5 million City of Atlanta Economic Opportunity grant to help fund the relocation of its U.S. headquarters, and is eligible for other state incentives. Invest Atlanta partnered with the Georgia Department of Economic Development, Metro Atlanta Chamber and Georgia Power on the project. Matt Ryder of Honour Inc. served as location, labor and incentives consultant. Chris White and Brian Boyd of DTZ were tenant advisors, and BoggsVickers is the project architect for the new office space.
