BECO Management of Rockville, MD paid $42-million for 184-acre campus formerly known as Meridian Corporate Center near University City. As part of the re-branding, plans call for spending $30-million on upgrades to the corporate campus.
IBM made a big splash into the Charlotte North Carolina market back in 1979 with the creation of a 1,200-acre campus. In 1994, First Union, now Wells Fargo, bought 155 acres for its own employee campus and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools bought nearly 200 acres for a four-school complex. In 2002, Charlotte Corporate Center Acquisition, a limited liability company that included Blackacre Capital Management and other New York investors, bought the 12-building complex for $114 million.
