CHARLOTTE, N.C. – March 20, 2019 – Today, SentryOne will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony to unveil its new corporate headquarters, located in the heart of Charlotte’s popular Lower South End (LoSo) district.

The 35,000-square-foot office was developed as an adaptive reuse project in the historic Bowers Fibers complex. It is home to more than 130 Charlotte-based employees, with an additional 55 regularly visiting from remote offices throughout the United States and EMEA. The SentryOne team has grown almost 50% in the past year, with 30% employee growth projected for the next two years.
“We believe that if we take care of our team members, our customers will benefit. That is why our employee turnover is low and our customer retention rate is high,” said Bob Potter, CEO at SentryOne. “As hard as we work as a company, we also enjoy celebrating wins and supporting our employees' work/life balance, and our new headquarters fosters this mentality.”
The cutting-edge headquarters honors the industrial heritage of the LoSo district, with shipping containers incorporated as huddle spaces and a beautiful atrium with trees and open café seating. The adjacent LAB @ SentryOne comprises a high-tech training center, gym, and pub. It will be the new home for several of Charlotte’s technology user groups and serve as the hub for future technical conferences, bringing many new faces to the area from around the world.
SentryOne partnered with Gensler, a global architecture firm to bring the design to life. Gensler Design Director, Holly Christian, stated, “We were excited to partner with SentryOne together on this process where we pushed design boundaries to create a high-performance workspace that increases employee engagement and showcases the best of the tech industry.”
“Charlotte is so fortunate to have SentryOne as an engaged partner in our workforce community,” said Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles. “Its continued growth in its corporate headquarters mirrors our tremendous growth as a city, and we wish them nothing but success in LoSo.”
