ATLANTA BUILDING
AN ICONIC BUILDING WITH HISTORIC GRANDEUR, READY FOR THE FUTURE
The circa 6,500 sqm Atlanta building at Stadhouderskade 5-6 in the city centre of Amsterdam was completed in 1929. Plans dating back to 1919 were to create a hotel on the site, but they were not approved by the municipality. The original development company subsequently went into receivership and in 1926 the site was acquired by the 'N.V. Amsterdamsche Maatschappij tot Exploitatie van Etagewoningen' (AMEE), controlled by Dutch architect F.A. Warners (1888-1952).
The decision was made to build an office instead of a hotel. Whilst the asset is in an excellent central location nowadays, as the city has sprawled over the years, it was a far from ideal office location at the time: it was a relatively fringe location, outside the historic city centre and far from the stock exchange area, where most economic activity was concentrated. AMEE managed to control the rather high development risk by pre-letting part of the building to REO Motor Car Company, an US car manufacturer. At completion in April 1929 the construction costs were 785,000 guilders (356,000 euros).
The foundation stone was laid on March 31, 1928, by Warners' son Allert and his father-in-law Allert de Lange. The building height, originally 10 floors high, was exceptional at the time, as three extra floors were permitted in

exchange for a small strip of land being returned to the municipality. On top of the building, a tower was built adorned by two large wings: the emblem of REO Motor Car Company.
A novel concept: flexible office in the 1930's
The extra floors lowered the construction and operating costs of the building, supporting the financial case for the building. As a matter of fact, F.A. Warners was far ahead of his time: the property was built on an almost square plot with a concrete structure. This ensured that a flexible layout was possible so that tenants could organise their space according to their own requirements.

ATLANTA BUILDING
FUN FACTS
- The name Atlanta: The site was originally owned by N.V. Atlanta, a hotel company jointly founded by the 'Amsterdamse Scheepsvaartmaatschappijen' during the First World War. Hotel Atlanta was never built, but the name was kept and used to name the office building.
- The Chrysler Coupe Windson: The building still has an elevator to move cars from the basement to the mezzanine floor, a remnant from the time REO Car Motor Company used the building. The elevator was in active use up to a few years ago. The construc- tion company responsible for the latest renovation gifted a 1949 burgundy Chrysler Coupe Windson to the previous owner and it was placed in the elevator as a tribute to the history of Atlanta and American automotive history in general. This car can now no longer be removed from the building, following the latest renovation.
- The concierge's house: The design of Atlanta fea- tured a concierge's house behind the main entrance. The concierge lived in the building and took care of the reception activities and the maintenance of the building.

Window-shopping for large American cars
REO Motor Car Company leased the basement, ground floor and first four floors. The ground floor was used as showroom for its latest models and the back of the ground floor, two entresol levels and basement as a garage. The large glass facade gave locals the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the latest American cars. Alas, REO would end up only occupying the space for a relatively short period of time. It turned out that the average price tag of a car of 2,000 guilders (900 euro) was far too tall an order for Amsterdammers.
Multiple tenants over the years
In addition to REO Motor Car Company the building has had many occupiers, larger and smaller, as it was in fact a multi-let building from the start. Major tenants over the years were 'Koninklijke Emballage Industrie van Leer', DAF trucks, whilst the ground floor has also been used by Indonesian Restaurant Raden Mas. Tommy Hilfiger has occupied this building for most of the past two decades, whilst part of the building was also used by Paradiso to stage concerts. Most recently Atlanta has been entirely leased to the international operator WeWork, so the building has come full circle as a flex office.
