Vantage South End C H A R LOT T E, N C
Two 11-story multi-tenant market office buildings are poised as the gateway to the South End neighborhood of Charlotte.

The dynamic façade breaks the form obliquely, while the building fronts lean forward toward a view of the city skyline.

This new 50,850 SF headquarters blends authentic materials—zinc, wood, bluestone, and concrete—with natureinspired design to create a place of hope and connection. Large overhangs, sun-shading louvers and perforated screens protect from the southern sun, while balconies and a rooftop terrace offer outdoor respite. Inside, natural finishes flow seamlessly from exterior to interior, blurring boundaries and reinforcing the mission of life and community. Elevated on pilotis to address the floodplain, the building integrates with gardens and reflection paths. Associate Architect RSP Architects. L S 3P Co m m e rcia l Wor kpl a c e

Deloitte Tower C H A R LOT T E, N C
Deloitte Tower, the second tower on Legacy Union’s Tryon block, occupies the southeast quadrant and totals 412,000 GSF. Its design complements the Bank of America Tower at the base, forming the south edge of Tryon Street Plaza, then transitions to a modern glass aesthetic above the precast and stone base. The tower’s unique form responds to a tight site—curving along Hill Street to the south and framing the plaza to the north—with a two-story glass porch fronting Tryon Street. Inside, the lobby connects to the original tower and uses similar finishes for a cohesive experience.
