Episcope to Transform BofA Plaza in Atlanta

ATLANTA -- CP Group, a commercial real estate firm with more than 8 million square feet owned and managed in Atlanta, is partnering with Episcope Hospitality to transform the food, beverage, and tenant amenity experience at Bank of America Plaza, Atlanta's iconic 55-story skyscraper.

Episcope Hospitality is a nationally recognized hospitality group – with concepts in New York, Boston, Chicago, and Las Vegas – known for its pivotal role in the revitalization and amenitization of The Penn District in New York City, where Episcope operates multiple distinct dining concepts.

The partnership marks Episcope's entry into the Atlanta market and completes CP Group’s vision for the second phase of capital improvements in the building, which began in June, bringing the firm’s investment in the property to more than $70 million since acquiring the office tower in 2022.

The agreement marks one of the most significant hospitality investments in the building's history and reflects CP Group's ongoing commitment to repositioning the tower as a best-in-class workplace destination.

"This partnership represents the next phase of our long-term vision for Bank of America Plaza," said Chris Eachus, Founding Partner, CP Group. "We've invested heavily in transforming the building, and bringing on a hospitality partner like Episcope allows us to build on that momentum with experiences that benefit both tenants and the broader community. These enhancements reinforce our commitment to creating an environment that meets the needs of today’s professionals and the way they work."

The capital improvements include delivering three distinct concepts to Bank of America Plaza: A vibrant restaurant and bar, a gourmet market and café, and a new tenant-exclusive club anchoring the 37th floor with sweeping views of Atlanta.

With Episcope serving as the exclusive operator, the three concepts will span nearly 18,000 square feet and are designed to serve tenants, visitors, and the surrounding Midtown neighborhood from morning through evening.

A New Restaurant and Bar Coming to Midtown Atlanta
At the heart of the partnership is a modern restaurant and bar that will replace the prior food hall, located in the ground-floor amenity center, called the “West Wing.” Inspired by the world's finest hotel lobbies, the space will offer multiple distinct dining areas and lounges designed to accommodate everything from working lunches and informal meetings to evening cocktails and late-night gatherings.

Warm wood finishes, custom furnishings and layered lighting will cultivate an inviting atmosphere, while a large-format viewing screen will allow the building to host watch parties, cultural programming and community events. State-of-the-art private dining rooms will also provide flexible space for board meetings, corporate entertaining and private celebrations.

Adjacent to the restaurant, CP Group will introduce a gourmet market and café that complements the building's hospitality-focused environment. Designed to serve both tenants and visitors throughout the workday, the concept will offer specialty coffee, artisanal pastries, made-to-order sandwiches and salads, chef-prepared grab-and-go meals, and a curated selection of locally sourced products and everyday essentials.

On the 37th floor, CP Group will deliver a new tenant-exclusive club designed for working, dining, gathering, and celebrating against the unmatched backdrop of the Atlanta skyline. The semi-private, hospitality-driven amenity will feature food and beverage service through Episcope and will be available to tenants for private events, catered events, and special tenant functions.

Beyond the club itself, Episcope's hospitality program will extend throughout Bank of America Plaza with in-suite catering and delivery offerings, dubbed “room service,” preferred reservation access, tenant discounts, signature programming, and a dedicated sales and event coordination team.

CP Group engaged design firms ASD and Kuo Diedrich Chi to serve as the architects, with Leapley Construction executing on the vision.

"Bank of America Plaza is exactly the kind of landmark where Episcope's hospitality model can make a meaningful impact," said David Morton, Founder of Episcope Hospitality. "We build hospitality programs that serve the building and the community alike, creating spaces where people want to gather, connect, and spend time. Atlanta is a city we've had our eye on for years, and we’re thrilled to make Bank of America Plaza our first home in the market.”
