About This Video
In this video I break down the news that CP Group has signed AMP Up1 Hospitality to bring The Looking Glass, an Alice in Wonderland-inspired immersive dining concept, to 38,000 square feet inside The CTR, the former CNN Center in Downtown Atlanta. The target opening is Q2 2027, and the operator behind this is not an out-of-town guess, it is the same Atlanta group behind Your 3rd Spot. I also get into what this lease actually signals about where Downtown foot traffic is heading and why a 38K square foot bet is not a small one. For the full story, read the blog: The Looking Glass Is Coming to The CTR in 2027.
