The property is being renamed the 139 South Tryon Building and will have some ground-floor retail. Rental rates haven't been set but principals Buddy Green, Sarah Ledbetter and Diane Rivers expect to compete in the Uptown market where rates are ranging from $28 per sf in the newest and best buildings to about $12 per sf in older properties. Because it has been difficult for companies to find Uptown space in blocks as small as 7,000 sf, the group believes the timing is right for putting the building back on the market.
First Charter acquired and renamed the building after its acquisition two years ago of Home Federal. The bank later closed the building and moved its bank branch across the street to the Johnston Building.
