New construction sprouting in South Park

Drivers along Fairview Road soon will be seeing something this region hasn't seen much of in a while: New construction.

Work has begun on the new southern regional headquarters for the Bank of North Carolina and steel is scheduled to rise out of the ground next week, according to J.D. Goodrum Co. Inc., the project's general contractor.

The bank is building its 13,000-square-foot headquarters at 5980 Fairview Road. Construction is expected to take 10 months.

When finished, Bank of North Carolina customers will be banking at new 2-story steel structure wrapped in a glass curtain wall system, according to the contractor. The interior will feature a lounge with a fireplace. There will also be a drive-through teller option.

Cranes and construction crews were common place around the Charlotte area in the 2000s, until the recession began in late 2007 and new construction ground to halt.

Established in 1991, the Bank of North Carolina has roughly $2.2 billion in assets and offices in North Carolina and South Carolina.

Fairview is a pretty long road. Can you give us a cross street near the location?

Hey 4:28 poster, why should Susan or anyone else have to Google information that should have been included in the article? Why don't you just not read the newspaper from now on and Google everything. Sadly, you're anything but awesome.

I agree with Susan. For the record: It's between Park Road South and Piedmont Row.

Incredible waste of space, I hope this bank goes under. This should have had retail for the workers in the area. No one goes to a bank branch anymore. OH boy it's two-stories!!!!
