The $93-million, 29-story FNB Tower at 401 Graham Street brought something new to the sparkling skyline in Charlotte: a true mixed-use high rise, and one with a sleek, reflective façade that stands out among its neighbors, including the Charlotte Knights and Charlotte Panthers Stadiums.

Crews navigated a tight, 0.63-acre site with zero laydown space along a main route in Charlotte, leading the team to work with local departments of transportation to work around major city events like a national political convention and games at the nearby stadiums.

Other challenges overcome on the project are complex structural elements for the transitional 17th floor housing to create the LEED- and Green Globe-certified tower with unobstructed 360-degree views on each of the seven levels of office space.

Also included in the more than half-million square feet are 12 residential floors with 196 units, eight levels of parking with 364 spaces and an 18th-floor amenity level.
