Investment Highlights
- Design Center Lake Norman is one of the region’s first adaptive reuse projects and now comprises innovative office and flex suites.
- Charming building with irreplicable historic finishes like exposed brick, natural wood ceilings, and stained concrete flooring.
- Location poised for long-term value as the population within a 5-mile radius is projected to grow at an annual rate of 2.6% through 2028.
- Owner/user opportunity for up to 64,329 square feet with value-add potential for investors via capital improvements and increases to market rates.
- Conveniently located minutes from Lake Norman, Downtown Mooresville, and the Lowe's Corporate HQ, Charlotte's sixth-largest employer.
Executive Summary
Discover this incredibly rare opportunity for a new owner to occupy up to 64,329 square feet of space in the near-term future and control phased expansion or rental income over the life of the asset. Conversely, current WALT (weighted average lease term) presents a unique and highly desirable opportunity for an investor to reset existing below-market rents and achieve an immediate value-add strategy.
