Listen to this articleCHARLOTTE – The Duke Endowment, the Charlotte-based foundation named after James B. Duke, is another step closer to moving to its headquarters to Dilworth, after Mecklenburg County issued a $22 million building permit for work on the three-story office building.
Construction on the 46,000-square-foot building, at 800 E. Morehead St., has yet to begin, but construction crews from Charlotte-based Rodgers Builders have been working since October on a two-level underground parking deck.
Endowment employees are working out of the foundation’s offices at the Bank of America Corporate Center, at 100 N. Tryon St. The building is expected to be finished in the summer of 2014, and will be home to about 40 foundation employees, according to the Endowment website.
Frankie’s Italian Grille used to be on the site of the new headquarters, but the restaurant closed in 2009.
Established in 1924 by James B. Duke, also of Duke University and Duke Energy fame, The Duke Endowment claims to be the largest private foundation in the Southeast.
