Capital Group will take over nearly 197,000 square feet at 101 N. Tryon St., according to a memorandum of the lease in the Mecklenburg County property records. The lease began May 22 and was filed to the county on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The lease seals Capital Group\u2019s<\/a> move to Charlotte, in the heart of uptown, and marks the start of the firm\u2019s expansion into the region.<\/p>\n

Capital Group plans to establish a \u201cCenter of Excellence\u201d in Charlotte, investing $60 million into the city and creating 600 high-paying jobs, the N.C. Department of Commerce announced in March.<\/p>\n

The minimum average salary will be $194,141, which is double Mecklenburg\u2019s average wage of $90,706<\/a> as of January, according to state data. New positions include software, data and AI engineering, data science, investment operations, marketing and global business services.<\/p>\n

Capital Group anticipates investing the $60 million by Dec. 31, 2031, with jobs in Charlotte starting next year.<\/p>\n

The Charlotte Business Journal<\/a> first reported the lease agreement.<\/p>\n

Capital Group is a privately held company that was founded in 1931. It\u2019s well-known for being the investment manager of American Funds<\/a>, which provides investment options for long-term capital growth.<\/p>\n

Capital Group has more than 9,000 employees and 33 offices around the world. And it bills itself as the world\u2019s largest active fund manager, with over $3.4 trillion in assets under management as of January.<\/p>\n

For its investment in Charlotte, the state awarded Capital Group tax incentives worth over $17.2 million if the company reaches its hiring and investment goals. The incentive package also includes $2.2 million in training through the community college system and division of work for solutions.<\/p>\n

Being at Trade and Tryon streets puts Capital Group in the center of uptown. And in a building looking to compete with newer sites<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s why Capital Group chose One Independence, according to Sagar Rathie, managing director at Crescent Communities, which owns the building.<\/p>\n

\u201cCompanies are being increasingly intentional about where they invest, and this lease reflects the continued demand for well-located, highly amenitized workplaces that help attract and retain top talent,\u201d Rathie said.<\/p>\n

Since the pandemic, office buildings have undergone major renovations to entice workers back to their desks<\/a>. One Independence is at the center of the \u201cflight-to-quality\u201d trend.<\/p>\n

Crescent purchased the 20-story building in 2019, along with Nuveen Real Estate, for $132.2 million. Since then, it has invested about $26 million into changing the ground-floor.<\/p>\n

That includes the addition of Monarch Market, an 18,000-square-foot food hall<\/a> that has 11 food stands filled with local and regional operators, as well as three bars.<\/p>\n
