Opened on April 19, 1924,[2] the 11-story hotel and 10-story apartment building were constructed somewhat away from downtown Atlanta, in an area that became known as Midtown.
The large radio masts supported the transmitting antenna of WSB-AM from 1925 to 1929, when output power was increased to 5,000 watts, and a suburban transmitter site was built in East Lake.
They completed work on the apartment tower, but then went bankrupt in 1986 and had to sell the entire property.
The newly renovated apartment tower was opened as the Biltmore Suites Hotel while the main building remained vacant for many years.
The complex was sold to Novare Group in January 1998,[7] who gutted and transformed the main hotel building into office space, reopening it in 1999.
