Phipps Plaza to expand, get new look

ATLANTA - Phipps Plaza is now expanding and undergoing a major transformation.

Owners of the Buckhead mall plan to install a new luxury hotel, restaurants, an office tower, and a fitness complex.

Officials said the project will cost around $200 million and is the most dramatic single addition to Phipps since the 1990s.

Phipps expects to open the expansions in phases throughout 2020.

Developers said the project will not disrupt regular mall operations.
