We invite you to take a stroll through the Design Center of the Carolinas. 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.
