Ballantyne Corporate Park is a name you know as offering the best in Class A office environments in the Charlotte area. Now our already exceptional office environments are getting even better — we are building “green”. Bissell Development’s latest projects in Ballantyne Corporate Park features four environmentally “green” LEED registered Class-A office buildings. Overlooking the 12th and 14th holes of The Golf Club at Ballantyne, our new green space includes twin 10-story towers (Boyle & Harris) and twin 6-story buildings (Everett & Hayes) with a combined 800,000 square feet of space. Our latest accomplishment is earning LEED Gold certification for the Irby Building, with the other three to follow suit. Also LEED registered is the new Aloft Charlotte Ballantyne with 136 rooms.
