Corning Optical
A new headquarters for Corning Optical Communications that will eventually house at least 650 employees has officially topped out.
The six-story, 182,170-square-foot office building is being developed at Riverbend Village, a mixed-use development in northwest Charlotte, by local real estate firm Beacon Partners. Beacon broke ground on the building late last year and says it remains on track for delivery in early 2019.
Corning Optical Communications is relocating to northwest Charlotte from Hickory. The company, a $3.5 billion segment of New York-based Corning Inc. (NYSE:GLW), struck a deal in 2016 with Mecklenburg County to receive up to $750,000 in incentives. The project could be eligible for up to $3.2 million total in local and state incentives.
