Foundation for the Carolinas
Charlotte, NC
Jenkins•Peer is working with the Foundation for the Carolinas to prepare for the relocation of their corporate offices to one of Charlotte's Center City landmarks. Designed by Charlotte architect Louis Asbury in 1926, the four-story structure formerly served as Montaldo's Department Store and has been home to the Mint Museum of Craft + Design since 1988. The building's renovation will transform the existing 82,000 sf of space into corporate offices to support the Foundation's role as a civic leader in the region's philanthropic community.
