One of Charlotte’s largest privately held companies is preparing to build a major new headquarters in the heart of SouthPark.
Amwins Group will break ground later this month on a 15-story, 250,000-square-foot office tower at the former Sharon Station site on Sharon Road.
The company was founded in Charlotte in 1998 and has grown into one of the world’s largest distributors of specialty insurance products and services. Today, it employs thousands of people globally, including more than 500 in Charlotte.
The new tower will feature nine office floors above six parking levels, along with a lobby and approximately 7,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. Six existing buildings on the property are expected to be demolished next week to make way for construction.
Amwins purchased the site from Childress Klein in December 2024 for $16.8 million.
The company plans to begin moving employees into portions of the building during late 2028, with full completion expected in early 2030.
The project comes as Amwins continues expanding its business. Last month, the company completed its acquisition of NARDAC, a specialist energy and infrastructure broker, and folded the operation into its newly branded Energy, Power and Infrastructure practice.
Charlotte-based Keith Corp is developing the project, while Brasfield & Gorrie will serve as lead contractor.
The headquarters project represents one of the largest new office developments planned in SouthPark and further reinforces Charlotte’s growing reputation as a major center for financial and insurance companies.
