​CHARLOTTE (March 3, 2022) – CrossRidge Development and JLL today announce the completion of CrossRidge One, a 120,000-square-foot, Class-A office building located within CrossRidge Center, a 190-acre, mixed-use development in Indian Land, South Carolina. The next phase of development for the center, which includes 55,000 square feet of retail, is slated to begin construction Q4 2022. JLL Senior Managing Director Charley Leavitt is leading office leasing, while Senior Vice President Margot Bizon and Vice President Lindsay Stafford are marketing the retail component.
 
Now available for lease, CrossRidge One is a Class-A office building featuring 30,000-square-foot floor plates. With plenty of room for expansion and flexibility for customization, the center is thoughtfully designed as the ideal office opportunity for a potential headquarters or corporate campus. Architectural firm Perkins Eastman designed CrossRidge One and Edifice Inc. served as the general contractor.
 
“Congratulations to CrossRidge in the realization of this vital step toward the creation of the region’s premier work-live-play development,” said Raleigh J. Cline, AIA and Principal of Perkins Eastman. “Perkins Eastman is honored to be a trusted design partner in helping to establish CrossRidge as a Class-A office park destination.”
 
Phase I of CrossRidge Center’s retail expansion will feature 55,000 square feet of space, delivering summer of 2023. The center encompasses six retail parcels available for ground lease, build-to-suit and multi-tenant building at the front of the mixed-use development. Future retailers will have unmatched visibility along Highway 521, an area experiencing explosive residential growth and an expanding daytime work population. Phase II will deliver an additional 150,000 square feet over the course of three years. 
 
“With the completion of CrossRidge One, we are ready to take the next steps in creating a legacy family destination in Indian Land,” said David Cerullo, CEO of CrossRidge. “A destination we hope will be timeless in its design and timeless in the experiences it offers. We believe CrossRidge will be the destination for dining, shopping, recreation and entertainment in Lancaster County and beyond. We have created a beautiful master plan and are now poised to begin the next phase of construction.”
 
“We are thrilled to build upon the momentum at CrossRidge Center with the addition of a best-in-class retail component, which will provide seamless access to a variety of walkable amenities for CrossRidge Center’s office users,” said JLL’s Bizon. “As the retail sector rebounds from the pandemic, demand for ground-up retail is higher than ever and there is great potential to bring high-end and desirable dining and shopping options to the surrounding community.”
 
CrossRidge Center’s first phase also includes a 120-key hotel. The site already featured an existing Class-A office building, a 32,000-square-foot conference and event center, and a 75,000-square-foot YMCA. Located across the North Carolina border in Indian Land, CrossRidge Center features more than 1,500 feet of front-facing property on Highway 521 and has three primary ingress and egress points for ease of access. CrossRidge Center is just miles from Charlotte’s affluent Ballantyne community and is located in close proximity to dozens of grocery, shopping and dining options. The site also includes a scenic lake, fountains, bridges and manicured landscaping.

According to JLL Charlotte’s Q4 Office Insight, the market experienced record-breaking construction volume, ending the year with 4.9 million square feet of deliveries. Additionally, Charlotte ranked first in the U.S. for office building deliveries – ahead of Atlanta, Silicon Valley and Austin. As market-wide preleasing on new product remains strong, JLL’s experts predict the office pipeline will normalize this year as Charlotte shows positive signs of recovery.

Indian Land, S.C., August 18, 2020 -- CrossRidge Center continues to evolve, breaking ground this week on CrossRidge One, a speculative Class-A, 120,000 square foot office building—the next step in the immaculate, 190-acre campus. This building is designed with the opportunity for a potential headquarters or the start of a corporate campus in mind, with plenty of room for expansion, and flexibility for customization. The office building is expected to be completed in Q4 2021.
 
The CrossRidge Center campus is just across the North Carolina border in Indian Land, South Carolina. The development, which faces Highway 521, is anchored by a brand-new 78,000 square foot YMCA multiplex, completing in mid-September. The site also includes an existing Class-A office building, a stand-alone 32,000 square foot conference and event center, greenways, and more. Retail outparcels will be offered in the next phase of the development, providing future walkable amenities to CrossRidge Center tenants. Visitors to the sprawling campus are welcomed by a scenic lake, fountains, bridges, and landscaping that is unrivaled to the region. CrossRidge Center is just minutes away from amenity-rich Ballantyne.
 
“CrossRidge is hitting the mark in achieving a true “Live, Work, Play” environment that is multigenerational and attractive to anyone looking for a blend of beautiful suburban landscape and modern corporate presence.”  Said Bryan Knupp, Senior Vice President of Edifice, the General Contractor for the project.
 
David Cerullo, CEO, and Ben Cerullo, COO of CrossRidge Development Corporation (the parent company of CrossRidge Center) have applied a lifetime of experience to the creation and vision of the campus and the selection of the team. As mentioned above, Edifice is the general contractor and Perkins Eastman is the architectural firm. Commerical real estate firm, JLL is marketing both the speculative office building and retail outparcels.


“CrossRidge Center is already exceeding our expectations,” said Ben Cerullo. “The beauty, the tenants and the corporate and retail space will serve this region for decades to come. JLL is in the process of securing clients that fill missing gaps in Lancaster County and South Charlotte. We are excited that CrossRidge is beginning to play a vital role in our community.”
 
Raleigh Cline, Associate Principal of Perkins Eastman’s Charlotte studio, believes the speculative office building can pose a solution for companies navigating safety concerns amidst a global pandemic. “Business leaders everywhere are contemplating the renovation and/or redesign of their current spaces to accommodate social distancing. The new shell spaces within CrossRidge One will provide a clean slate for tenants, allowing them to make safe layout and workplace density decisions from the beginning, rather than undertake expensive renovations of an existing environment,” said Cline.


JLL’s Stephen Woodard and Charley Leavitt are marketing the office space, while Lindsay Stafford and Margot Bizon are marketing the retail outparcels on behalf of CrossRidge Center.

(Indian Land, SC)  CrossRidge Development has signed contracts with top-tier firms in the next step of development for a Class A spec office building at CrossRidge Center in Indian Land, SC.  The announcement comes from CrossRidge Chief Operating Officer Ben Cerullo.
​
Earlier, during the joint groundbreaking of the Upper Palmetto YMCA and CrossRidge Center on May 31st, Cerullo announced plans to develop Class A spec office space as part of the CrossRidge Center complex.

“This announcement is an important step in the full development of CrossRidge Center,” Cerullo said. “Over the past two years we have interviewed numerous property design, development and management companies. Today, I am excited to announce that we have finalized and executed agreements with two of the premier firms in their respective fields.  Perkins Eastman has signed on as the architect and interior designer and Edifice, Inc. has been selected as the general contractor.”

“The Charlotte office of Perkins Eastman is excited to partner with CrossRidge Development on this important next step of the realization of CrossRidge Center.  Our office building design will complement the existing architectural aesthetic and maximize on the magnificent natural beauty of the site to establish CrossRidge as a Class A office park destination,” said Raleigh Cline, AIA, associate principal of Perkins Eastman.  “Our design will plan for future building, landscape and site development that will become the full vision of the live/work/play environment planned by CrossRidge Development.”
Bryan R. Knupp, senior vice president of Edifice said, “The Cerullos have a dynamic vision for the balance of an already beautiful property south of Charlotte.  Edifice is honored to be part of the team that will bring this vision to reality.”
Cerullo added, “Both of these firms possess an unprecedented level of expertise, credibility and passion.  They understand our vision to create a high-end live/work/play environment currently missing from the Lancaster County panhandle.  Along with the Upper Palmetto YMCA (under construction), CrossRidge Center promises to be the go-to destination for individuals and businesses looking for upscale design, dining and amenities.”

CrossRidge Center plans to break ground on the project in Q1 2020, with occupancy in Q4.  For more information, visit www.crossridgecenter.com.

(Indian Land, SC – May 31, 2019) In a rare move, CrossRidge Center today announced plans to develop Class-A spec office space just across the NC border in Indian Land, SC. The announcement was made by Ben Cerullo, COO of CrossRidge Development, during the joint groundbreaking of the Upper Palmetto YMCA and CrossRidge Center.

“We know this is a unique initiative in the world of development,” said Cerullo. “But this decision demonstrates our confidence in the region’s continued growth and CrossRidge’s ability to position itself to attract regional/national companies looking for the type of aesthetics and amenities we offer. And the parcel we’ve selected for this build is one of the premier sites on campus, with the best road access, ample parking, breathtaking views, and proximity to the CrossRidge Conference and Event Center.”

Bryan Tuttle, consultant for the project, couldn’t agree more. “This initiative by CrossRidge Development makes a bold statement to the regional office market, that they are ready, willing and able to step up to the unprecedented demand in the South Charlotte market for new Class-A office space. The biggest problem in recent times is not the demand for space, but the sheer availability of space. This especially is true in the Upstate of South Carolina and Lancaster County, in particular, where the business environment and quality of life is so attractive. CrossRidge wanted to respond in advance to this growing market demand in the Highway 521 business corridor just South of Ballantyne, especially as the YMCA moves toward completion and prospective tenants look to call CrossRidge home.”

CrossRidge Center currently boasts one of the most significant office buildings in all of Lancaster and York counties. The 120,000 sq. ft. anchor tenant is central to the development. Visitors are welcomed by a beautiful monumented entry drive and flag court, surrounded by a scenic lake, fountains, bridges, sidewalks, and landscaping unrivaled in the region.

Interviews with architects and engineers are being finalized now. CrossRidge Center anticipates breaking ground on the project in late 2019, with a Fall 2020 grand opening. For more information, visit www.crossridgecenter.com.
