JPMorganChase expands Charlotte presence with new corporate office

JPMorganChase today announced it has signed a lease for a new corporate office location in Charlotte at One Piedmont Town Center, located at 4725 Piedmont Row Dr. in Southpark, bringing the firm’s local employees together with room for future growth. The new office will feature JPMorganChase signage at the top of the building and elsewhere around the exterior of the building, providing prominent visibility for the firm in Charlotte.

Piedmont Town Center is a major mixed-use development located in Charlotte's SouthPark neighborhood. The project includes two office towers, street-level retail and restaurants, residences and two parking decks. The site is in a dense, walkable hub within the suburban SouthPark area, combining high-end residential, office space, and amenities. JPMorganChase will occupy roughly 145,000 square feet across five floors of the building.

“Our expansion in Charlotte reflects both the depth of talent here and the growth of the market, but it also speaks to our business success and our intention to accelerate that success to serve more of the Queen City’s growing business community,” said Matt Beardall, J.P. Morgan’s head of Commercial Banking for the East Coast. “We are very happy with the trajectory we have had to date and believe that the best is yet to come. Having our talented employees together in a new, state-of-the-art work space will add fuel to the fire of our momentum – and that of our clients.”

Investing to support future growth in Charlotte

Currently, the firm’s more than 600 Charlotte-based corporate office employees are based in two buildings, also in Southpark. The new Piedmont office will ultimately accommodate more than 1,000 employees. Current employees and future new hires span across the firm’s lines-of-business – including the Commercial and Investment Bank, the Private Bank, and the Consumer Bank – but many new roles will be in Commercial and Investment Banking, supporting the business’s clients locally and globally.

“Charlotte’s combination of excellent quality of life, world-class higher education systems, and a strong talent pipeline continues to attract and grow world-class institutions,” said Vi Lyles, Mayor of Charlotte. “We’re pleased to see JPMorgan Chase expand in Charlotte and make an investment that supports jobs, strengthens our business ecosystem, and reinforces Charlotte’s role as a global financial hub.”

The new location underscores and expands JPMorganChase’s presence in one of the nation’s most vibrant financial and business communities. JPMorganChase opened its first commercial banking office in Charlotte in 2011, its Private Bank office in 2017 and its first retail branch in Charlotte in 2020. It now has nearly 1,000 employees across both its corporate offices and its nearly 30 branches in the area. Last year, JPMorganChase’s Chairman and CEO was in Charlotte to celebrate the grand opening of its branch in Southpark, the firm’s 1000th branch in its branch expansion initiative.

“JPMorganChase’s expansion in Charlotte speaks not only to our talent in North Carolina, but to our long-term economic competitiveness,” said North Carolina Secretary of Commerce Lee Lilley. “As one of the world’s foremost financial hubs, Charlotte is the perfect home for JPMorganChase’s investment, and will be great for our workforce and communities.”

Workplace experience and amenities

The new office will offer contemporary workspaces, enhanced collaboration areas, and amenities that support employees’ wellbeing and productivity. The office will also feature a Private Bank Client Center for client meetings and a flexible training center with multiple rooms designed to accommodate onboarding, employee development, townhalls, internal events, and more. Other features include lactation and prayer rooms, an on-site restaurant and free parking for employees.

“At JPMorganChase, we believe strongly in the power of partnerships. By bringing our teams together, we can serve our clients more efficiently and holistically,” said Carrie Galloway, head of the Carolinas for J.P. Morgan Private Bank and vice-chair of the Carolinas Market Leadership Team. “While we have been serving the people and businesses of Charlotte for many years, this move reflects not only our continued commitment to this market, but our intention to grow here in the years to come. I look forward to welcoming our clients to our new space and to showcasing the full breadth of the talent, offerings and capabilities of our firm.”

JPMorganChase in Charlotte

JPMorganChase is working to advance an economy that works for all in Charlotte by leveraging its expertise, insights, and resources to help residents, businesses, and communities achieve their goals. Across Charlotte, the firm serves nearly 500,000 consumer customers, nearly 35,000 small business customers and has more than 900 employees.

Since 2019, the firm has provided more than $5.2 million in philanthropic capital to help strengthen local communities, increase opportunity and drive long-term economic growth in Charlotte. In Charlotte’s Historic West End, for example, JPMorganChase committed more than $700,000 to Local Initiatives Support Corporation to support the health of the area’s small business community and to strengthen brick and mortar businesses. To date, this grant has helped LISC support 70 businesses and 220 individuals with technical assistance and business coaching; provide $250,000 in financing to local businesses and fund facade improvements for 10 business storefronts. Also, just recently, JPMorganChase committed $700,000 to the Lakeview Neighborhood Association to support economic mobility and housing stability in Charlotte’s historic West Side.

The office is expected to open to employees starting in early 2028. Any additional updates regarding the firm’s footprint in Southpark, including building details and renderings, will be shared closer to the opening date.
