Client Objectives

  • LPL is the nation’s largest broker-dealer with multiple locations in the US. The Carolina locations were scattered in 5 different Class B properties and productivity and culture were suffering.  In addition, the company had recently invested in new space at other locations and the Carolinas population was feeling like 2nd class citizens.  
  • LPL was clear in the mission for this project which was captured in this statement, “To create a landmark destination of choice that’s designed to promote success and creativity while respecting the planet’s resources.  A special place where everyone is honored for their contribution to the greater whole”.
