Lockton Companies renews, expands lease by 6,740 SF at Piedmont Town Center in Charlotte, North Carolina

Charlotte, North Carolina – Aug. 7, 2018 – Lockton Companies, the world’s largest privately-held insurance broker has renewed its existing lease of 13,050 SF and expanded its space by 6,740 SF at 4725 Piedmont Row Drive in Charlotte, North Carolina. The businesses’ office will be a total of 19,695 SF upon completion.

Trinity Partners’ Director of Tenant Representation, Ann-Fleming Powell, represented the tenant. Campbell Walker from Lincoln Harris represented the landlord, Principal Real Estate Investors.

“We took a look at the entire South Park submarket and came to the conclusion that due to the amount of term left on Lockton’s lease and Piedmont Town Center’s ability to accommodate the company’s growth, it was a suitable place for Lockton to remain and expand its Charlotte footprint,” Powell, said.

Trinity Partners Construction Services team is responsible for building out Lockton’s expansion and making general improvements to the space. Lockton is expected to occupy the renovated office in the third quarter of 2018.

“Trinity Partners provided valuable assistance in the search to find the right space for our business to grow,” Lockton Companies Southeast COO, Manoj Sharma, said. “Ultimately, we were found that our current space is optimal and, with the help of Trinity’s Construction Services team, seized the opportunity to expand in our current Charlotte home.”
