Charlotte, NC — Dornin Investment Group (“DIG”) today announced the execution of a new office lease totaling 20,897 rentable square feet with Pacific Life Insurance Company at 128 South Tryon, a Class A office building in Uptown Charlotte, North Carolina.
Pacific Life has committed to a full-floor, move-in-ready space, further reinforcing continued leasing momentum at the property and sustained demand for premier office environments in Charlotte’s Central Business District.
CBRE’s Kris Westmoreland represented Dornin Investment Group in the transaction.
“Our team is thrilled to welcome Pacific Life to 128 South Tryon,” said Chris Dornin, CEO and Founder of Dornin Investment Group. “Securing a full-floor, move-in-ready commitment from such a high-caliber Fortune 500 tenant underscores both the strength of the asset and the momentum across our portfolio. Over the past several months, we’ve executed multiple significant leases at 128 S. Tryon, and currently have nearly 75K sf in active lease negotiations reflecting sustained demand for top-tier, highly amenitized office space in Uptown Charlotte. The collaboration, responsiveness, and strategic execution of the CBRE team, led by Kris Westmoreland, were instrumental in advancing this deal from initial proposal through execution. As leasing momentum in Charlotte’s CBD accelerates, fueled by strong demand for prime Uptown assets, we’re proud that 128 S. Tryon sits at the center of that activity.”
Located at 128 South Tryon Street, the property benefits from its central Uptown location with immediate access to Interstate 277 and a wide range of nearby amenities, including restaurants, hotels, entertainment venues, and public transportation. The building has recently undergone renovations and features a modernized lobby, boutique fitness center, tenant amenity hub with lockers and showers, bicycle parking and storage, upgraded restrooms, and a 5,000-square-foot restaurant and bar on the ground floor.
“Pacific Life’s commitment to a full floor at 128 South Tryon speaks to the building’s enduring appeal and the strong demand we continue to see for high-quality office environments in Uptown,” said Kris Westmoreland, Senior Vice President, CBRE. “DIG has made meaningful investments in this asset, and tenants are responding. We’re pleased to support their team in advancing another significant lease at the property.”
