Intuit Opens New Office Space in Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward
Mountain View, Calif.-based financial software company Intuit announced the opening of its 360,000-square-foot Atlanta office space located in the city’s Old Fourth Ward neighborhood. The office will be among the company’s five largest locations globally and will accommodate close to 1,000 employees.
The new office will be the new home of Mailchimp, an email and marketing automation platform initially founded in Atlanta that was acquired by Intuit in September 2021. After this $12-billion acquisition, Intuit looked to relocate Mailchimp from its offices spanning several floors of the nearby Ponce City Market. Now, Mailchimp stands to occupy the new space, which also offers it room to grow further.
Mailchimp reportedly expects employees to be in the office two days per week and, consequently, has taken an experience-based approach for the new location. To that end, the office is designed to compete with the home in terms of comfort and convenience, while also offering the professional and focus benefits of a well-designed workspace. It will include 20 conference rooms, 48 huddle rooms, a tiki bar, a makerspace and several outdoor spaces. Moreover, the office layout is conceptualized as being made up of “neighborhoods” with different feels and commissioned art.
One of Atlanta’s most diverse and history-rich neighborhoods, the Old Fourth Ward is home to an eclectic mix of parks, restaurants, bars and street art. The neighborhood is situated just east of downtown Atlanta, while also bordering the city’s BeltLine, offering great opportunities for transit, as well as recreation.
“It’s no secret that Atlanta is a bustling tech ecosystem that Mailchimp has been central to for over 20 years,” said Rania Succar, SVP and general manager at Intuit Mailchimp. “Our beautiful new workspace is one more way to express our commitment to this great city and to do our part to contribute to this thriving community, while also amplifying our culture. We’re thrilled to have a world-class space for our current and future employees to innovate in and to spur creativity and grow our business.”
Intuit boasts offices in New York, Nevada, Texas and Arizona, as well as locations in Canada, EMEA and Asia Pacific. The newest expansion marks the company’s first location in the Southwest.
