Charlotte’s
New Signature
The Wells Fargo Cultural Campus has transformed two city blocks of Uptown into Charlotte’s most prestigious
address. Two museums, a cultural center, a performing arts theater and a 300-seat business auditorium blend
masterfully with 40,000 square feet of ground floor restaurants, galleries and shops to form one of the region’s
most vibrant urban environments.
The cornerstone of the Campus is The Duke Energy Center, a 48-story, 1.5 million- square-foot LEED-certified
office tower. The experienced team of Wells Fargo and Childress Klein, coupled with world-renowned
architectural firm tvs design, has considered every detail. The impressive yet unassuming lobby combines
warm woods, marble and granite. Three points of ingress and egress combined with the spacious parking
deck make access convenient and easy. State-of-the-art, destination dispatch elevators ensure minimal
waiting. Column-free, square floor plates maximize design flexibility and provide exceptional views.
It is all this and more that has attracted world-class firms such as Duke Energy, Wells Fargo, Deloitte, KPMG
and Katten Muchin Rosenman to the Duke Energy Center.
A Tower Amidst
Transformation
The Wells Fargo Cultural Campus features four distinct arts venues, each on its own is a magnet for local
residents and all who visit Charlotte. Together, they create a destination that transforms the city as a whole.
Yet the Cultural Campus is only the beginning. The city’s premier urban park, The Green, puts additional
dining and retail options just steps away. Bank of America Stadium and the NASCAR Hall of Fame are not
only visible from within the tower’s offices, but just a short walk away, as are the Charlotte Convention
Center, the Westin and Hilton hotels, and the Time Warner Cable Arena.
Charlotte’s light-rail is within a block, while an underground tunnel provides a secure, covered connection to
the balance of Wells Fargo’s Uptown campus and the Overstreet Mall. Vehicles are conveniently served by a
new I-277 interchange, providing quick access to I-77, I-85 and the city’s suburbs.
Providing artistic grandeur in an intimate setting, the 1,200-seat
Knight Theater hosts dance, opera, symphony and more.
The Bechtler’s architecture conveys a sculptural
power in tune with the dynamic modern art
collection inside.

A Statement of
Conscience
The Duke Energy Center is not only a trophy office tower, it is a sustainable building that sets a new bar for
environmental accountability. On track for a minimum of LEED-Gold certification, the innovative design will
lessen The Duke Energy Center’s environmental footprint.
In fact, 100% of the site’s irrigation is provided by collecting rainwater, saving approximately 1.6 million
gallons of water annually. Additionally, the water required for the mechanical systems comes from ground
water and reclaimed condensation, saving another 25 million gallons of water each year.
The Duke Energy Center also utilizes 21% less electricity than a typical office building. Key green
measures include high performance glass, daylight harvesting blinds that move with the sun to increase
natural daylight, and auto-dimming lights. Additional key health measures include low-emission paints and
adhesives and continual air quality monitoring that draws in additional fresh air when needed. A vegetated,
green roof replaces traditional heat-absorbing surfaces with plants, shrubs and trees that reduce storm
water run-off, carbon dioxide and heat build-up.
Whether you view such benefits as fiscal, environmental, or psychological, the common thread is that
these measures and many more will positively impact your bottom line.
A Canvas for
Your Expression
If your business wishes to be at the forefront of Charlotte’s new wave of growth – if you view your office
as an opportunity to lead by example – the monumental Duke Energy Center is the only place to be.
