ATLANTA — Cox Enterprises, parent company of WSB-TV, will begin construction of a new 600,000 square foot office complex in Sandy Springs, the company announced Thursday.
The building will house the technology department of Cox Communications, a subsidiary of Cox Enterprises. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2010 and should be fully occupied by information technology, internet and engineering staff in 2012. The new complex will be built in close proximity to Cox Enterprises' 16-story headquarters located on Central Park on the east side of Peachtree Dunwoody Road.
"Our company's growth necessitates the construction of additional facilities," said Marybeth Leamer, executive vice president of administration and human resources for Cox Enterprises.
The expansion of facilities comes as Cox Communications prepares to ramp up its operations to soon launch next-generation wireless voice and Internet services.
Cox Communications' main facility, located at 1400 Lake Hearn Drive in DeKalb County, will continue to serve as headquarters for all its non-technology department employees.
