LPL Financial plans to construct a new Charlotte, S.C., area regional headquarters. The firm currently has more than 1,000 employees in three buildings dispersed across the region and the new corporate campus will allow the company to bring all area employees together in one office environment, says the nation’s largest independent broker-dealer.
The Charlotte area has been designated by LPL as its primary destination for job growth. The company has plans to invest at least $150 million in the region in addition to creating 3,000 new jobs in South Carolina in the next few years, according to the press release.
Construction will begin in 2015 with completion expected in the fall of 2016. The building will demonstrate the firm’s commitment to sustainability by incorporating green features, technology and materials to minimize the impact on the environment. Planned amenities include a fitness and health center, ergonomically designed furnishings, an onsite eatery and access to commerce and outdoor spaces.
Earlier this year, LPL opened its new regional San Diego headquarters, which is believed to be the largest net-zero energy commercial office building in the United States, says the firm.
