Porsche’s Atlanta home celebrates a decade of automotive splendor.
While Porsche is known among the automotive world for purveying some of the world’s greatest German luxury performance cars, its North American roots are firmly planted in Atlanta, Georgia. First establishing its headquarters in Atlanta in 1998, Porsche opened a new chapter when it decided to build a new headquarters in 2010. After considering over 70 options across three states, Porsche decided not only to stay in Georgia, but to plant itself next to the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta, the world’s busiest airport.
After developing the massive site using 650 foundation piles, 27,000 cubic yards of concrete, and 500 tons of steel, the One Porsche Drive facility in Atlanta opened in 2015. Since then, over half a million people have visited the facility, $128 million has been invested, over 800 employees work there, it features two driver development tracks, and has many more features and spectacular aspects to it.
Celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, One Porsche Drive in Atlanta has become one of the world’s premier automotive destinations, with a restaurant called 356, named after Porsche’s inaugural model, a simulator lab capable of putting 23 Porsche models on 38 real-world tracks, a Heritage Gallery with more than 200 historic cars, 13,000 square feet of event space, and 58 total acres of real estate. With ten years of legacy, the One Porsche Drive site in Atlanta has become a venerated automotive hub over the past decade.
