110 East is a 305-foot (93 m) tall 23 story office building in South End Charlotte, North Carolina.[1]

History

The 2-acre site made up of 2 parcels[5] was purchased by Stiles Corp. and Shorenstein Properties in October for $21.5 million. The site is right next to the East/West Boulevard station light rail station. It will be the only office building in Charlotte with direct light rail access.[6] The building's architect, Hastings Architecture, coordinated with Charlotte Area Transit System to ensure a seamless transition between the building and the light rail station.[7] It will be in a very active area of the South End neighborhood that has a lot of restaurants and nightlife within a short walk.[4] The former parking lot was used for parking for the buildings in front of it that housed restaurants Tupelo Honey and The Manchester. The two buildings were included in the $21.5 million purchase. Tupelo Honey has relocated and The Manchester closed prior to the start of construction.[8] [9]

It was originally planned to break ground in mid 2020 and complete in the fall of 2022. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic this was pushed back.[5][1] On January 12 the Stiles website announced the groundbreaking for January 26, 2022.[4]

The building will feature a total of 370,000 square feet (34,374 m2) of Class A space.[10] with 7,000 square feet (650 m2) of street level retail space.[5] Due to the size of the lot floors 2 to 10 will be devoted to a 914-space parking deck.[11][12] The 11th floor will feature 8,000 square feet (743 m2) of amenities such as a 4,000 square feet (372 m2) fitness center, flexible conference spaces,[4] and a terrace along with a sky lobby. Floors 12 to 23 will be office space with 29,000 square feet (2,694 m2) floorplates.[10][5] The Hastings Architecture websites states that the interior of the building design uses art to guide building tenants throughout the space and attempts to maximize the Uptown skyline views. The building is currently pursuing LEED Silver and Wired Certification.[7] The building is a speculative building, meaning no tenants had signed prior to the building breaking ground. Although Cushman & Wakefield, the company leasing the building, has indicated that several companies have called about the space and have toured the city.[1] The building officially topped out in August 2023. Also, during the same time period, Cushman & Wakefield says leasing interest in the building is picking up. However, no leases have been signed yet.[13] The building delivered in April 2024 without any tenants.[14]

However, in November 2024 the building signed its first tenant. Patterson Pope will occupy 6,565 square feet (610 m2) on the twelfth floor. The company will be moved from 3001 N. Graham St.[15]
