300 South Tryon is a high-rise office building in Charlotte, North Carolina.[2] With a height of 463 ft, it is the 8th tallest building in Charlotte. It was completed in 2017.[3] Ground breaking was on December 15, 2014, and construction was completed on November 16, 2017.[4] 300 South Tryon was built on the last available undeveloped lot on Tryon and was the first high-rise office building in uptown Charlotte since the end of the Great Recession.[5] The building has 638,000 square feet of space[6] including 22,000 square of street level retail space,[7] which makes it the 13th largest building in Charlotte by leasable space.[8]

Office building[]

In 2007 Spectrum and Cornerstone announced plans for a 32 story building on the site that would feature a mixture of retail, condos, and office space. However, the Great Recession dissolved these plans. An affiliate of Cornerstone Real Estate Advisors held onto the 1.6 acre property after the deal fell through.[9]

Babson Capital announced in May 2014 they were considering moving their headquarters from Springfield, Massachusetts to Charlotte. The existence of Barings came in 2016 as the result of MassMutual merging four asset management companies which included Babson Capital and Baring Asset Management.[10] Babson was then leasing 45,000 sq ft at Duke Energy Center[11] with 140 employees located there.[12] The Charlotte based part of the company was the institutional debt management arm of First Union Corp, formerly Wachovia, and was acquired by Babson in 2002, at the time of acquisition the division had 17 employees.[13]

Babson Capital agreed to anchor the building and lease 200,000 square feet.[14][15] Some of the building's tenants include Elior North America with 13,000 square feet,[16] Cushman & Wakefield with 16,000 square feet,[17] Knoll Inc. with 4,000 square feet,[18] King & Spalding with 27,000 square feet, Winston & Strawn with 26,000 square feet, FCA Partners with 4,000 square feet,[19] and CapTech with 1500 Charlotte employees across 12,500 square feet[20]
