Office project in fast-changing part of Charlotte nabs first tenant

CHARLOTTE — Kernersville-based Fourth Elm Construction is erecting an office building in Charlotte’s Wesley Heights neighborhood.

The 5,696-square-foot building will sit on 0.77 acres at 2427 Tuckaseegee Road. Locally based Stewart Law Office will occupy about 3,000 square feet of the building, with the remaining 2,696 square feet to be leased to another office tenant. Stewart Law is currently in about 1,200 square feet at ThExchange, at 5500 77 Center Drive in south Charlotte.

Stewart Law’s founding attorney, Brent Stewart, said construction is set to begin in the coming days and should take about eight months to complete. The firm will move in sometime next year.

John Martin, partner at Fourth Elm Construction, said the opportunity for development in Wesley Heights is one of the reasons he’s excited about the project.

“There’s a path forward on redevelopment there ... It’s amazing, the development energy that’s happening in Wesley Heights,” he said. “It’s a cool looking building. It’s not an enormous project, but the location is worthwhile.”
