The building looks to me like the new PCNA HQ & Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta.

I was going to go in early May while in ATL for a biz conference, but had ahealth issue & had cut the trip short to fly home early to get it taken care of (emergency root canals are no fun! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) ).

They're still screwing around with finishing the one here in SoCal due to successive delays pushing it back from the original opening of Spring 2016 IIRC. I heard it was ground settlement issues being built on top of an old landfill, which they could've easily planned ahead properly for, if they'd just contacted me, since I did work in the 1980's on the site next door where they want to do the proposed stadium for the Chargers & Raiders (if it's even still in the works now, with the Rams here).

For those in CA - it's in Carson CA just off the 405 - across from the Goodyear Blimp's airfield & the Carson Mall - so convenient to both local SoCal & those flying into LAX.

You are correct. The Porsche Experience Center.
