The Atlanta Centre is located along Annapolis Street, well inside the Greenhills area and the city's only skyline area. It is also just a stone throw away from the well-known Greenhills Shopping Center.

Atlanta Centre was known as the place where Nida Blanca, a well-known Filipino actress, was found dead on 7 November 2001. She was found inside a car in the building's parking area.[5]

At about 6:00 AM on 16 December 2008, a fire broke out on the 7th floor of the building. No one was reported injured since office workers have not yet arrived in the area. The building's curtain walls on the said level were destroyed by fire fighters for the trapped smoke to come out.[5]
