The joint venture of Stiles and Shorenstein Properties has delivered 110 East, its newest Class A, a 23-story office tower in Charlotte’s South End neighborhood. Nashville-based Hastings Architecture designed the 370,000-square-foot building. Shelco was the general contractor. Commercial Edge reports Global Atlantic Financial Group provided a $137 million construction loan for the $186 million project.

Construction broke ground in January 2022. It features a platform at the East/West Station along the Lynx Blue Line. The office tower has flexible conference spaces, a 4,000-square-foot fitness center, a 3,000-square-foot outdoor terrace, 7,000 square feet of street-level retail, and an 11th-floor sky lobby with views of the Charlotte skyline.

Stiles Adrienne Zalkind added, “With the integration of the building’s sky lobby, outdoor terrace and other non-traditional multipurpose spaces, 110 East can easily play host to a multitude of events and large meetings while offering employees unique opportunities to collaborate and stay active.”

Northeastern University received approval from the Boston Planning and Development Agency board for a 23-story tower on Columbus Avenue, accommodating up to 1,370 students, Boston Business Journal reported.  

Additionally, The Druker Co. Ltd. gained approval for two connected lab-and-office buildings at 1033-1055 Washington St., totaling nearly 600,000 square feet. Other projects approved include The Flatley Co.’s mixed-use development on the Mystic River and The Fallon Co.’s Sullivan Square lab complex. Mayor Michelle Wu’s initiatives also saw success, with approvals for downtown office-to-housing conversions and zoning code changes.  

Housing advocates welcome Northeastern’s move to provide more student housing amid Boston’s housing challenges. The approved tower, partnering with American Campus Communities, aims to alleviate student housing demand, while Druker’s project aims to drive economic growth and sustainability.
