'Project Slugger'| New Nine-Story Building Will be Adding to Greensboro's Skyline Near the Ballpark

The building will be 110,000-square feet of office and retail space connecting to First National Bank Ballpark, the home of the Grasshoppers.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — A new nine-story building is in the works for Greensboro and it's slotted to go right next to First National Bank Field. 

Developer Front Street Capital broke ground on 'Project Slugger' Thursday at the corner of Eugene and Bellemeade Streets. The building will be 110,000-square feet of office and retail space designed in brick and glass to complement the ballpark architecture.

Lead tenant Tuggle Duggins PA has committed to anchoring the building. First National Bank is also a tenant according to Front Street Capital.

“This marquee project for Downtown Greensboro is the result of years of hard work by numerous community stakeholders," says Robin Team, partner with Front Street Capital. "Building new office space plays a key role in the continued growth of downtown by helping our anchor tenants attract top talent and grow their businesses.”
