CHARLOTTE, NC— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, announced the signing of a lease for a new office located at 127 West Worthington Ave in Charlotte, North Carolina. The 5,026-square-foot office further solidifies the firm’s continued investment in high-growth markets across the Southeast.

 

Matthews™ entered the Carolinas market in early Q1 2026 with the addition of key talent, including First Vice President Nick Lore, to expand its multifamily service lines, marking the next step in the firm’s East Coast growth strategy. Slated to open in Summer 2026, the office will support more than 12 agents as the firm continues building its presence in rapidly developing markets to meet growing consumer and investor demand nationwide.

 

Overseeing the expansion, Matthews™ Associate Market Leader Gerard Hamas says the new office’s proximity to the firm’s headquarters made it a natural fit for its next phase of regional growth.

 

“Charlotte, just like Matthews, is growing every day and continues to highlight opportunities for us to contribute to its growth moving forward,” Hamas said. “This location gives us the opportunity to remain closely aligned with our Nashville office while delivering the boots-on-the-ground service needed to support clients throughout the region.”

 

Bill Pedersen, Regional President of the East at Matthews™, emphasized Charlotte’s position as a leading commercial real estate market and its importance to the firm’s long-term outlook.

 

“Charlotte has firmly established itself as one of the most compelling commercial real estate markets in the country, fueled by rapid population growth, significant corporate relocation, and an extraordinary level of development activity that continues to reshape the region,” Pedersen said. “I couldn’t be more excited to expand our Eastern presence into a market that reflects where CRE opportunity is today and where we see it heading.”

 

The office at The Atrium, located within the Design Center of the Carolinas campus in South End, provides Matthews™ with a highly accessible setting in one of Charlotte’s most active and rapidly evolving neighborhoods. Positioned near major transit access and surrounded by a strong mix of dining, retail, and business activity, the location offers a well-connected environment suited to both client engagement and day-to-day collaboration.
