AXA Equitable Signs Lease At Innovation Park

AXA Equitable Life Insurance Co., the New York-based company with operations in Charlotte since 1998, will be moving next year. Innovation Park’s listed rates are between $16 and $18-sqft, though terms of the lease weren’t disclosed. Located at University City in north Charlotte, Innovation Park is a state-of-the-art work environment featuring a full range of attractive amenities for employees, including outdoor nature lounges, a gym, and partnership services such as a day care and dry-cleaning deliveries.

BECO Management purchased the the once-bustling 200-acre property in early 2010, which had IBM’s high-tech infrastructure, and is now undergoing a $30-million renovation. Existing tenants include IBM, Siemens Energy, Aon Hewitt insurance services, and Areva nuclear power company.
