What it is
The CTR is the former CNN Center at 190 Marietta Street NW. The building opened in 1976 as the Omni International Complex, became CNN’s corporate home in 1987, and for years welcomed visitors who toured the studios and watched live broadcasts. In 2024 owner CP Group began transforming it into The CTR, a mixed-use destination meant for work, dining, watching, creating and celebrating in an indoor-outdoor setting. It sits among Mercedes-Benz Stadium, State Farm Arena and the Georgia Aquarium.
Food and art
CTR Food Works is the atrium food hall, with counters such as MiMi Taqueria, Southern Belle Chicken Co., La Tropical and Fuzzy’s Raw Bar, plus a full-service bar. Mastro’s Ocean Club, Live-K Karaoke and The Looking Glass are listed as coming soon. CTR Culture, created with ASHA Advisory, has added commissions by Atlanta artists, including “Southern Lighting” in the North Atrium and “Discordant Structure” in the East Atrium. CTR Culture Studios offers creative workspace with partners including Downtown Atlanta Inc. and The Creatives Project.
