When we acquired The Grove in 2015, we were excited to begin realizing the potential of such a strong and active location. After all, one of the most important aspects of our business is creating and maintaining spaces that attract and retain dynamic clients. So, we began transforming The Grove from a vintage 70s office complex into a space suited to the needs of 21st century companies.

One of the first significant steps that we took during this transformation was renovating The Grove’s courtyard between The Tower and the Woodoak Building.

This space is a cornerstone of The Grove complex, covering nearly 3,600 square feet and providing much needed connectivity within the south campus. Moving away from its rigid, industrial park feel, we redesigned the courtyard into a communal area where tenants can step away from the rush of the office and meet over coffee or lunch in a relaxed, lush and inviting environment.

Hobbs Properties is excited to introduce this new space to our tenants and future clients.  We anticipate completing this renovation by October 31st.

​The renovations to the landscaping and lobby of 100 E at Anderson Plaza that began last year have finally been completed. What used to be a hidden gem is now a jewel that has been polished to shine for all those passing by. The renovations included the excavation of trees and previous landscaping for the placement of a new green lawn, and the lobby area has been brightened and modernized to provide a grand opening to the building. Take a look at a couple of the before, during and after shots:

Preservation North Caronila teamed up with developers to move the historic Crabtree-Jones House, which had sat facing Wake Forest Road since about 1795, in preparation for the 243 unit apartment complex that has been planned for development. The Crabtree-Jones House was moved at the beginning of the year to the Crabtree Heights neighborhood and was opened at the end of July for public tours.

Its new landscaping and interior improvements have transformed it and we are pleased with the turnout and market response. We are glad to have all of our tenants there and would like to welcome Sales Matters (Sandler Training), who moved in as a new tenant, and CTMG Inc., who expanded their shop by moving from Six Forks Place II to 3008 at Anderson Plaza.
