A Memphis, Tennessee-based financial institution has signed a significant lease at 110 East in South End.
First Horizon Corp. (NYSE: FHN) will be the office tower’s anchor tenant, leasing 88,167 square feet across 110 East’s top three floors. The move consolidates two existing First Horizon office locations in Charlotte.
First Horizon will move into the new space in the first half of 2026.
Bradley Rice with Fischer CRE worked with First Horizon’s Tina Fullard and Joanna Britt in lease negotiations. Rhea Greene, Jennifer Kurz and John Hannon with Trinity Partners represented the landlord. 110 East is now about 70% leased.
First Horizon is among Charlotte’s 10 largest banks. Its overall assets totaled $82.1 billion as of June 2025, with 17 branches in the region. Its local deposits reach nearly $1.6 billion.
Laura Bunn, mid-Atlantic regional president for First Horizon, said the bank’s employee base has grown 150% in the last year in the Charlotte market. The new office will accommodate continued growth.
“With so much talent located in Charlotte, particularly in the financial services industry, it is home to our local banking team, corporate line of business leaders and associates with company-wide responsibilities,” Bunn said in a news release today.
Greene, Trinity Partners managing partner, said 110 East continues to see leasing success because it checks the boxes for companies looking for quality Class A office space.
“Ownership’s thoughtful design, building quality and service, and amenity experience in South End’s most compelling location is one of the market’s most complete and meaningful work experiences,” she said. “The building’s leasing success is proof of that, and current tour activity and interest show no signs of slowing down.”
Most recently, Spar Group signed a 16,000-square-foot lease at 110 East for its corporate headquarters relocation. Other office tenants at 110 East include Coinbase, the nation’s largest crypto exchange, which signed a deal for 58,600 square feet earlier this year; SouthState Bank, which is leasing 40,000 square feet for its new regional headquarters; storage solutions firm Patterson Pope, which is occupying about 6,500 square feet; and health insurance company Humana, which is occupying about 13,500 square feet.
The 370,000-square-foot, 24-story office tower delivered in March 2024. It has 13 office floors on top of a 900-space parking deck. An 11th-floor sky lounge with unobstructed views of uptown includes a 3,000-square-foot terrace, 4,000-square-foot fitness center and conference space.
The Iberian Pig, an Atlanta-based tapas restaurant, announced in May that it will occupy 4,600 square feet at the building’s ground floor. The restaurant will open next year.
Stiles Corp. and Shorenstein Properties, the developers behind 110 East, are also renovating an adjacent 12,000-square-foot retail property. The Jones Building, a 100-year-old building at 1820 South Blvd., was formerly home to Tupelo Honey until the restaurant closed in early 2020. Renovations are expected to deliver later this year.
