AXA Financial Inc. has signed a lease for about 140,000 \"\"<\/a>square feet in Innovation Park and will relocate in May 2014 from its current offices at Ballantyne Corporate Park. The New York-based company currently leases 169,912 square feet at 10840 Ballantyne Commons Parkway and has been a major tenant of the business park since 1999.<\/p>\n

AXA consolidated its operations in Charlotte after closing a service center in New York and operations facilities in Des Moines, Iowa, and Fresno, Calif. The company employs approximately 600 at its life-insurance operations and service center.<\/p>\n

The Bissell Cos., Ballantyne\u2019s developer and current owner, has already put AXA\u2019s building Rushmore One on the market.<\/p>\n

Before deciding on Innovation Park, AXA searched for a suitable location not only in the Charlotte area, but also across state lines. According to the Charlotte Business Journal<\/em>, one of the locations considered for the move was EdgeWater Corporate Center in northern Lancaster County.<\/p>\n

1.9 million-square-foot Innovation Park, formerly known as Meridian Corporate Center, has been under the ownership of Rockville, Md.-based BECO Management since 2010, when BECO bought the campus for $42 million\u2014a steep discount price. It has since spent a reported $30 million in upgrades and renovations to the campus that currently features extensive parking, a 125-seat conference room, Wi-Fi, climate-controlled storage facilities, a courtyard lounge, a bicycle-sharing program, a 7,000-square-foot fitness center, electric car charging stations, a food bar and bistro restaurant.<\/p>\n

Both AXA Financial and BECO Management are represented by Jones Lang LaSalle. AXA Financial is a member of the global AXA Group, a France-based company focused on financial protection and wealth management.<\/p>\n

In other leasing news, Charlotte School of Law has confirmed the leasing of 40,000 square feet of uptown office space at the Gateway Center, this according to the Charlotte Business Journal<\/em>. CharlotteLaw will use the Gateway space starting in the fall of 2012. The leased space will house the offices of first-year course professors and 10 classrooms for first-year courses. CharlotteLaw will feature the same technologies uptown as it uses at its main campus in Bryant Park. A free shuttle will transport students and faculty between uptown and campus.<\/p>\n
