101 Independence Center

101 Independence Center is a 20-story office building located on North Tryon Street in downtown Charlotte. The structure contains office and commercial spaces occupied by financial and professional service companies throughout its floors.

This building was completed in 1983, replacing the original Independence Building from 1909 that once held the title of North Carolina's tallest structure. The demolition and reconstruction reflected the city's ongoing modernization of its downtown core.

The building marks Charlotte's growth as a financial hub, housing the offices of major banks and professional firms. Walking through the lobby and surrounding streets, you notice the constant activity of business professionals who make this place a center of economic life.

The building sits near the CityLYNX Gold Line and Light Rail stations, making public transportation access straightforward. Parking options are available in nearby garages and lots throughout the downtown area.

The building houses more than just corporate offices, as it also contains classrooms and offices for Northeastern University's Charlotte campus. This blend of business and education creates an unusual mix of workers and students throughout the day.
