State Farm campus to break ground May 15

Insurance giant State Farm plans to hold a ceremonial ground breaking for its planned new Dunwoody campus May 15.

Illinois-based State Farm and developer KDC have said they plan a complex of office towers, stores and restaurants and a hotel on 17 acres along Hammond Drive near Perimeter Mall. The insurer last year said it would move existing jobs to the national operations center and ultimately create 3,000 new jobs in metro Atlanta.

Gov. Nathan Deal, Dunwoody leaders and State Farm executives are expected to attend.

The project’s first phase is expected to be a 19-story tower. The full project, to be developed over several years, would rank among the largest real estate projects announced in metro Atlanta since the Great Recession.
