CHARLOTTE — One Independence Center is wrapping up its $25 million renovation uptown — with new restaurants and retail tenants set to be announced soon. That 20-story, nearly 547,000-square-foot office building is at the intersection of Trade and Tryon streets. Crescent Communities and Nuveen Real Estate acquired that tower in 2019 for $132.3 million.

Construction started in 2020 to refresh the lobby and retail space, including the addition of outdoor seating. A new building entrance was added along Tryon Street. The atrium connecting the office building to Charlotte Marriott City Center and The Ivey’s hotels also was updated.
