Spanning 58,000 square feet across two levels, the new workspace has been thoughtfully designed to foster creativity, flexibility, and sustainability. More than just an office, it serves as a hub for Sage colleagues, customers, and partners to collaborate, innovate, and drive business success.
A Hub for AI Innovation and Business Growth
The U.S. is the largest market for Sage, accounting for nearly 40% of the company’s global revenue. As Sage continues to expand its presence and drive innovation, Atlanta plays a crucial role in this growth strategy. Commonly referred to as the technology capital of the Southeast, Atlanta offers a robust business ecosystem, a highly skilled and diverse workforce, and a culture of innovation — making it an ideal location for the company’s continued investment.
Sage has long been part of metro Atlanta, with an established presence in Lawrenceville. The opening of its new North American headquarters represents a further commitment to the region.
"Sage is building the future of AI-driven financials for SMBs, and our new flagship office in Atlanta is at the heart of that transformation," said Mark Hickman, Managing Director of North America at Sage. "Our new workplace at Ponce City Market puts us right in the center of a thriving business and tech community, surrounded by innovation and a vibrant culture. This move is more than just a new office – it’s where we’ll drive the next wave of AI-powered financial solutions, helping our customers unlock new opportunities and scale with confidence."
At the heart of the new headquarters is the Sage Discovery Center – an experiential space designed to bring human connection back to business. Built with state-of-the-art technology, this space was designed in direct response to what Sage customers have been asking for: face-to-face conversations with real experts who can help them uncover the right tools for their business, unlock new opportunities, and scale their businesses. Whether they’re long-term customers or just getting started, visitors will get hands-on support, explore AI-driven solutions, and discover how Sage can be a true partner in their success – today and as they grow.

A Dynamic and Sustainable Workplace
The company’s move to 619 Ponce represents a leap forward in creating a dynamic and versatile workplace that supports varied work styles and collaboration. Designed with flexibility and inclusivity in mind, the office offers diverse work environments that empower teams to connect, focus, and innovate.
The office is structured into distinct work zones to meet the varied needs of Sage colleagues:
- Community Zone – a welcoming social space featuring a barista service and self-serve café, and a mini-market with a range of food and beverage options.

In line with the commitment from Sage to halving its emissions by 2030 and becoming net zero by 2040, the office is housed in a building constructed using sustainable materials and Georgia-grown timber. The building’s timber structural system achieved a net negative of 1,266 tons of carbon emissions, equivalent to removing around 300 cars from the road for a year.
Additionally, Sage has partnered with Living Walls, an Atlanta-based nonprofit, to commission three custom art installations and source gallery wall art by local artists, celebrating Atlanta’s rich creative culture and the artists who bring it to life.
Fueling Atlanta’s Community
Simultaneously, Sage announced its investment in Atlanta’s business ecosystem through new multi-year partnerships with four local nonprofit organizations: HYPE, Inspiredu, Per Scholas Atlanta, and Access to Capital for Entrepreneurs (ACE).
These collaborations reinforce the company’s commitment to breaking down barriers for entrepreneurs, fostering innovation, and making a lasting impact in the communities where it operates.
Through its social impact arm, Sage Foundation, the company has globally contributed more than 140,000 volunteer hours in the past year, as well as raised over $500,000 for many important causes. Notably, Sage Foundation has also helped up-skill nearly 19,000 people on tech and digital skills - including young girls and teens - as part of its effort to build a more inclusive, diverse, and accessible technology sector for future generations.
