RENDERINGS: Dramatic transformation in store for North End business center

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — An adaptive-reuse project that shares a name (but no relationship) with the state legislature expects to wrap up by year's end.

General Assembly will consist of 125,000 square feet of adaptive-reuse space at 1801 N. Tryon St. in Charlotte's North End. Austin, Texas-based Artesia Real Estate purchased the building, which totals nearly 200,000 square feet, for $8.8 million in November. The 1930s-era building has been the longtime home of the City North Business Center, a coalition of hundreds of small office, warehouse and retail tenants.

Artesia is splitting the building to allow for more natural light into two separate buildings and additional parking on site.
