CHARLOTTE, NC-CNL Crosland Commercial Real Estate has moved into its new digs and hired a retail heavy hitter to take its business to the next level. With the new office space, the company has room for its anticipated growth.

CNL Crosland moved into Charlotte Plaza, a 27-story class A office tower in downtown Charlotte. The company will share its new 8,200-square-foot office with Crosland Southeast, a recently formed development and construction management company. CNL Crosland’s office will open initially with 22 associates.

“The lease on our old space had expired,” Susan McGuire, principal of CNL Crosland, tells GlobeSt.com. “Charlotte Plaza is a great building in the hub of the city and we felt it offered a lot of advantages, both in terms of the convenience it offered our current and potential clients and in attracting the area’s top real estate talent.”
