Piedmont Realty Trust, Inc.
A real estate investment trust based in Atlanta that owns and leases Class A office buildings across the United States, with a strong home presence at properties like 999 Peachtree and 1180 Peachtree in Midtown. It began in 1997 as the Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, then renamed itself Piedmont Office Realty Trust after bringing management in-house in 2007, and later simplified to Piedmont Realty Trust. The name comes from "Piedmont," an Italian word meaning "foot of the mountain."
