Opened in 1991, Cathedral Place was developed through a joint venture with Sir Run Run Shaw of Hong Kong under the company name of Shon Georgia Investments Ltd. With the formation of this new corporate group, Mr. Shon saw an opportunity to realize a long-time dream of his father, Charles Shon, to redevelop the Georgia Medical-Dental Building site creating an enduring architectural landmark. The celebrated and respected architect, Paul Merrick, was asked to head the design team. The office Tower is now known as Shaw Tower at Cathedral Place.

The result was a dramatic post-modern counterpoint to the varied architectural styles of its neighbours. The beautiful twenty-three storey office tower with its attendant garden court and colonnade, its sculptured garden and free-standing crafts centre complements the character of the surrounding streetscape.
