You’ll soon discover why this is not your typical Charlotte commercial property, but a collaborative environment where tenants have all the office space they need to dream big. Positioned neatly in the city’s Historic South End, the Design Center’s three distinct buildings feature historic brick, expansive windows, striking architectural details, a vintage vibe, and contemporary amenities. It’s all designed to bring life to a progressive mix of showrooms, studios, creative office spaces, and event areas, resulting in a one-of-a-kind gathering place for innovation.
The Design Center is a forward-thinking business center that’s home to a community of progressive tenants including award-winning ad agencies, architects, interior designers, entrepreneurs, computer software companies and more. Whether your specialization is design-related in nature, or you simply want to work in a truly creative office space that will inspire your best, consider the Design Center a workplace like no other, with affordable commercial space for lease or rent from 1,000 to 20,000 square feet.
Houses an array of design-related showrooms, office space, and studios, as well as Balfour Beatty Construction and Pike’s Old-Fashioned Soda Shop.
Directly across the street from the light rail and down the hall from some of the best milkshakes in Charlotte at Pike’s Old-Fashioned Soda Shop, the 14 executive suites of The Plaza offer a significant array of rental space ranging from 1,650 to over 23,000 square feet.


Don’t be surprised to look out the window of your office in The Courtyard and see a wedding party taking pictures before heading to their reception at Byron’s, or some of Charlotte’s social elite hob-knobbing amidst the tranquil outdoor beauty during a luncheon. Just remember, they’re only visiting; you actually get to work here.
