CHARLOTTE, N.C. , Feb. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Abacus Capital ("Abacus"), along with its partners Big Cypress Capital ("Big Cypress") and Stockbridge, has signed solar developer Birdseye Renewable Energy to an 11,000 square foot lease at the Switch Yard, a 92,000+ square foot trophy creative office redevelopment project in the heart of FreeMoreWest's Freight District in Charlotte, NC . The lease at 925 Tuckaseegee brings the first of the two innovative and highly design-oriented buildings to 75% leased. The building is anchored by one of Charlotte's leading design firms, Redline Design Group.
The partnership also announced the start of construction on the second and final phase of the Switch Yard, a complementary, adjacent 66,000 square foot adaptive reuse trophy office building branded 1001 Tuck. Expected to deliver in early 2023, 1001 Tuck will complete the transformative redevelopment of the Switch Yard, once a pair of legacy warehouse buildings and now fulfilling the partnership's vision for an exciting and modern new commercial property. With the development of this final phase, the building's rentable area will expand with the construction of a two-story glass "jewel-box" annex along the front of the 1001 Tuck building, creating a dramatic streetscape and an instantly iconic presence. Wellness-focused building features are being integrated to further separate the Switch Yard from other legacy creative office assets in the market such as individual private tenant entrances and restrooms, contactless fixtures, enhanced outdoor air circulation and next-generation HVAC systems.
"Abacus and its partners are ecstatic to welcome Birdseye Renewable Energy, a leader in renewable energy development throughout the Southeast, to 925 Tuck at the Switch Yard," said Wes McAdams , managing partner of Abacus Capital. "The strong leasing interest we have received in the Switch Yard reflects the quality of not only the location and the concept but the bold architectural style, design standards and focus on creating spaces that appeal to the highest quality creative class tenants such as Birdseye Renewable Energy." In addition to the two buildings that comprise The Switch Yard, the partnership also owns the 38,000 square foot Wray Ward Headquarters building nearby bringing their total interests in the Freight District neighborhood to 130,000 square feet.
Located on 3.8 acres at the topographical apex of the Freight District, one of Charlotte's fastest-growing infill commercial neighborhoods, the redeveloped Switch Yard project will offer its tenants unrivaled views of downtown Charlotte's iconic skyline.
The Switch Yard will be the Freight District's first structure-parked office asset and will be competitively differentiated by its cutting-edge architectural design, a captive above-market parking ratio, the ability to accommodate tenants from 6,000-66,000 SF as well as its elevated outdoor tenant amenity spaces that have been designed to maximize tenants' sight lines to the city's skyline.
CBRE's office leasing team led by Joe Franco and Kris Westmoreland represented the landlord in the transaction while CBRE's tenant representation team of John Christenbury and Spencer Hawkins represented Birdseye in the transaction.

The stock market is all about themes and right now, given Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and all that has followed in its wake, the times will shine a spotlight on Cybersecurity stocks.

While stock splits don’t mathematically create any value for holders—they’re the financial equivalent of cutting a pie into smaller pieces—retail investors tend to like them, and split announcements often trigger short-term rallies. Amazon also announced a $10 billion stock-repurchase plan, replacing a previous $5 billion stock-purchase authorization in which it had bought back $2.12 billion of its shares.
