Northwood Office was established by Northwood Investors LLC – a privately-held, global real estate investment and management firm – to provide a complete approach to fulfilling office space needs. In March 2017, Northwood Investors acquired most of the Ballantyne interests of The Bissell Companies, one of the Southeast’s most prominent developers of successful mixed-use communities. Northwood Office’s current focus is continuing to develop Ballantyne, a 2,000-acre, mixed-use community located in the heart of south Charlotte. Several decades ago, the Bissell and Harris families envisioned an environment where a diverse population could find opportunities for housing, retail and employment – all within a 10-minute drive. Created on farmland, the master developers invested in a strong infrastructure to ensure at its inception that Ballantyne would be a sustainable community.
