Crescent Communities Closes Sale of ALLY Charlotte Center
Charlotte, N.C. – (September 2, 2021) – On Thursday, July 29, Crescent Communities, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sumitomo Forestry Co., Ltd, and a nationally-recognized, market-leading real estate investor, developer, and operator of mixed-use communities, officially closed the sale of the Ally Charlotte Center building to Ally Financial. Ally Financial is planning a phased move-in process into early 2022, and Crescent Communities plans to relocate their Charlotte office into the building’s eighth floor later this year.
The 26-story skyscraper is located at 601 S. Tryon St, and features 750,000 square feet of office space, approximately 30,000 square feet of ground-level retail, a 12,000 square foot public plaza, and a 1,400-space parking garage. Ally Charlotte Center is WIRED Certified Platinum – the highest level possible and the first Platinum Wired certification in Charlotte – and is pursuing LEED and WELL certifications, as well. These distinguished certifications ensure high levels of digital connectivity and an emphasis on health and wellness in the workplace.
“We are pleased to offer the Ally team the very best in digital connectivity, technology infrastructure and future-proofing resiliency,” says Amy Bezanson of Crescent Communities. “At Ally Charlotte Center, employees can look forward to state-of-the-art connectivity capabilities and functions, exceeding the expectations of a Class A office environment.”
Ideally situated in Charlotte’s Stonewall Street corridor, Ally Charlotte Center has convenient access to the city’s most desirable dining and retail options, as well as several expansive public walking paths and the LYNX light rail station. The tower will offer direct access to the forthcoming 381-room J.W. Marriott, luxury hotel with two on-site restaurants, meeting space, and a spa, which is expected to open later this month
