Arthur M. Blank Family Office
The Arthur M. Blank Family Office is home to the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation and AMB Group, LLC – the investment management, support services arm, and parent company of the Blank-owned businesses. The building was designed to be the permanent home of the Blank family foundation for many future generations and to serve as a place for bringing people together to further the causes that the foundation supports.
The office demonstrates the Blank family’s commitment to the earth’s natural resources and ensures a healthy, comfortable, and safe environment for all who enter the building. The facility is Georgia’s first LEED Gold certified building, the first LEED Gold certified office building in the Southeast, and the first to implement green operations policies.
