RALEIGH, NC-State Employees' Credit Union had planned to occupy about half of the 240,000-square-foot office building it built on Salisbury Street here. However, the company has changed its mind and will not be putting out the welcome mat for any fellow tenants after all.

SECU CEO Jim Blaine says the firm has decided not to try to find a corporate tenant to lease the vacant four floors at the 12-story property that opened recently. “We've decided to occupy the whole thing,” he says.

The change in strategy was due to an increase in membership and employee count during the construction of the downtown Raleigh office building the past few years. An SECU bank branch on the ground-floor floor of the building opened in early December. See story in the Triangle Business Journal.
