Representatives for NCR are scheduled to present plans to a design review board next week for a potential expansion of the headquarters campus the company is building in Midtown Atlanta.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution this week first reported plans by NCR to both expand the campus near Technology Square, and that company officials also are considering a move that could bring more than 1,000 additional workers to the site.
NCR announced plans last year to move from Gwinnett County to Midtown in a project that would shift 3,600 jobs to the city.
An agenda for the Tuesday Development Review Committee meeting shows planners are scheduled to present a proposal including about 240,000 square feet of additional office space and some new retail space.
It’s possible given the available land that the new building would rise to about 10 to 14 stories, likely over or around a an additional parking structure. Further details were not immediately known.
A message left for an NCR spokesman was not immediately returned. An attempt to reach a member of the building’s design team at Kimley-Horn was not immediately successful.
NCR, a Fortune 500 maker of software, automated tellers and other types of self-serve kiosks, is said to be weighing plans that would involve shifting more than the originally announced 3,600 jobs to Midtown. The plan is said to involve both newly created jobs and a consolidation of its workforce from certain locations outside of Georgia, the AJC reported this week.
One person familiar with the company's discussions said earlier this week the figure could be between 1,600 and 1,800 additional jobs over the next several years. The discussions are considered to be fluid and the jobs figures could change, the people said.
