The CODA building has been a snoozer for me from the get go, but I am happy to see the block being developed.

Not trying to be a smart@$$, but GA Tech has signed for 300K sqft for the HPCC. Next Tier HD (a separate company) has leased and will operate the 80K sqft data center.
I was initially disgusted with the first design version, but the current one is much better.
On a positive note: if you have seen the new 22 story State Farm building in the Perimeter, it's a massive building with a lot of impact. With that said, CODA is over 100K+ sqft larger than the State Farm building. I have heard from a couple of people involved in the project, CODA has LoI from two companies (each taking 100K+ sqft). I think one may be GE, not sure about the other.
