Morrisville, NC – April 22, 2024 — IXL Learning, educational technology pioneer, has further expanded its regional presence in Perimeter Park, leasing an additional 22,309 square feet to fully occupy 1600 Perimeter, a four-story, 90,089-square-foot Class-A office building. This marks the company's fifth expansion since establishing its East Coast headquarters at the 1500 Perimeter building in 2016, with an initial footprint of 17,000 square feet.

William Allen, Managing Partner and Alex Dunn, Director, Office Leasing at Trinity Partners, represented the landlord, Perimeter Park Offices, LP. (Mapletree), under Mapletree US Income Commercial Trust, Andrew Peceimer of Coldwell Banker Commercial Westbay Real Estate and Brian Farmer of Lee and Associates represented IXL Learning, Inc.

“After two consecutive expansions at 1500 Perimeter, Mapletree, the landlord, recognized IXL Learning's potential and growth trajectory. To accommodate this exponential growth and solidify IXL's position as the firm's east coast headquarters at the Park, Mapletree facilitated an early move to 1600 Perimeter. Alex Dunn said, "The IXL model serves as a testament to Mapletree's proactive approach to providing an environment where tenants can thrive and grow.

"Paul Mishkin, CEO of IXL Learning previously stated “We are excited to expand IXL Learning’s regional headquarters in Perimeter Park once again. The additional space will accommodate the pace of our company’s growth and will serve as a convenient location for people to closely collaborate and do their finest work. We look forward to becoming a bigger part of the Research Triangle community where we will continue building world-class products and serve our customers for years to come."

Respected corporate neighbors, relevant and convenient amenities, above standard parking, and an environment that allows tenants to attract and retain top talent truly resonates with high-profile companies. In addition to IXL Learning, Microsoft, UNC Health Care, Mercalis, Syneos Health, Premier Research, Northrop Grumman, and Teleflex also call Perimeter Park home.

“We value our strong and consistent relationships with our tenants," said Ben Goodsir, Head of US Commercial, Mapletree. "This focus on flexibility allows us to meet their evolving needs. We anticipate pent-up demand driving increased occupancy rates in the RTP I-40 corridor submarket. Despite the current business climate, we remain committed to providing adaptable, high-quality solutions for our tenants."

Perimeter Park, located in Morrisville is just minutes from the Raleigh-Durham International Airport and strategically positioned off I-540 and I-40, bordering Airport Boulevard and Highway 54. The Park continues to evolve through improvements and expansions that include Food Truck Tuesdays, tenant engagement events, the addition of a modern fitness center with locker rooms and showers (second within the Park), Wi-Fi equipped tenant café & lounge, an expansive conference center amenity, and a large pocket park that includes bocce and a putting green. Additionally, five new office buildings have been constructed and added to the Park over the past 6 years due to the high demand of Class A office space in the heart of the Research Triangle.
