teve Selig, a titan of Atlanta’s real‑estate scene, announced on Friday that he will retire as CEO of Selig Enterprises, ending a four‑decade career that helped shape the city’s skyline and culture. The family‑owned firm, founded by Steve and Cathy Selig, has been responsible for landmark projects such as the glass‑topped Google tower at 1105 W Peachtree, the mixed‑use developments in Westside and Sandy Springs, and the creation of the Music Midtown festival, a staple of Atlanta’s cultural calendar. Selig also served in President Jimmy Carter’s administration, further cementing his influence on the region.

    Greg Lewis and Mindy Selig will assume co‑CEO duties on January 1, 2026. The transition marks a new chapter for the company, which continues to pursue ambitious developments across the Southeast. Under their leadership, Selig Enterprises will maintain its focus on high‑rise office towers, vibrant mixed‑use districts, and community‑enhancing projects that reflect the city’s evolving needs.

    Selig’s legacy is evident in the city’s modern infrastructure and thriving cultural scene. From pioneering tech‑friendly office spaces to revitalizing neighborhoods, his work has left an indelible mark on Atlanta’s growth. As the company moves forward, it carries forward his vision of blending commerce, culture, and community to create spaces that resonate with residents and businesses alike.
