In 1998 the building was renamed the BellSouth City Center after Brasfield & Gorrie completed an $80 million renovation. Bell South was merged into the current AT&T company in 2006, and the building's name was changed to AT&T City Center.[2] Due to consolidations in corporate structure, AT&T moved all of its employees out of the building by March 2018.[3] This coincided with announcements to consolidated executive positions in Dallas and Los Angeles. [4]

In March 2018 the building was purchased by "600 North 19th Street LLC" of Stamford, Connecticut for $29.25 million.[5] In November of the same year, it was sold to "VCP City Center" a joint venture of Varden Capital Properties of Atlanta, Georgia and Tellus Partners of Norcross, Georgia, for $31 million.[6] The new owners anticipate redeveloping the building as a mixed-use property, combining residential, office and restaurant space.[7]
