Headquartered in SouthPark Itself

Sonic Automotive (Fortune 500) anchors a SouthPark headquarters cluster that also includes Hendrick Automotive Group, Carolina Panthers business operations (Bank of America Stadium is Uptown but ownership groups office in SouthPark), and dozens of private equity, wealth management, and law firms.

The Carnegie at SouthPark and Apex SouthPark have attracted satellite offices for several Bay Area and New York firms expanding into the Southeast.

Growth Sectors

Fintech (LendingTree, AvidXchange), digital media (Red Ventures, in nearby Indian Land), and renewable energy services (NTE Energy, Pine Gate Renewables) have layered onto the traditional banking base. Charlotte added the third-most net new tech jobs in the Southeast over the past five years.

A note on the specialists

The people behind the houses we write about.

Research only carries a reader so far. At some point a lot has to be surveyed, an offer written, a room specified, or a wall opened — and the work passes to somebody who does it for a living.

Read the specialist profiles

When the question is construction, we point readers to Peters Custom Homes, a Charlotte custom home builder working on infill lots and whole-house renovations inside the SouthPark loop. When it is representation at the top of the market, it is Peters & Associates, a Charlotte luxury real estate firm concentrated on estate streets, alongside Peters Team Realty, the Charlotte real estate team covering the wider neighborhood map for buyers still deciding where.

Interiors go to Emerald & Oak Design, the Charlotte interior designer behind the layered, long-lived rooms this district suits; the wiring and control layer to Peters Audio Video, a Charlotte audio video integrator that prefers to be in the project before the drywall. And when the trip is the complicated part, Peters Signature Travel plans as a luxury travel advisor for households leaving from Charlotte.
