The CTR Welcomes The Looking Glass, Bringing a New Social Dining Destination to Downtown Atlanta

CP Group's reimagined 1.2-million-square-foot mixed-use destination adds dining and entertainment concept to its growing tenant mix

CP Group, a vertically integrated commercial real estate firm with over 8 million square feet owned and managed in Atlanta, including Bank of America Plaza and Piedmont Center, today announced it has signed The Looking Glass, a new immersive social destination from AMP Up1 Hospitality, the Atlanta based team behind the award winning Your 3rd Spot, at The CTR (“The Center”), with construction set to begin immediately following the 2026 FIFA World Cup and an anticipated opening in the second quarter of 2027.

Set within the former CNN Studios overlooking Centennial Olympic Park, The Looking Glass will transform one of Atlanta’s most recognizable spaces into a multilevel world of elevated hospitality, immersive play, culinary exploration, and large-scale social gathering. Spanning approximately 38,000 square feet with an estimated capacity of more than 1,000 guests, the venue is being designed as the first Looking Glass, a flagship concept built to give Atlanta something truly original. Operating from the late morning through the evening, the concept adds a one-of-a-kind experience to The CTR’s growing tenant mix, bringing together culture, food, and connection in a way that complements the building's all-day energy.
