At CREW Charlotte’s October Luncheon, attendees heard from Caroline Wright, Chief Venues Officer for Tepper Sports & Entertainment, and Donna Julian, Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Spectrum Center, for an engaging discussion on Charlotte’s sports, real estate, and community ecosystem.

 

Caroline detailed Bank of America Stadium’s $800 million renovation, emphasizing Tepper Sports & Entertainment’s ownership structure and partnership with the City, while Donna shared insights on the $245 million transformation of Spectrum Center, a City-owned facility operated by the Hornets. Both leaders highlighted how tourism and hospitality tax dollars are reinvested locally through these projects, fueling Charlotte’s economic growth.

 

Caroline noted that Bank of America Stadium generates $1.1 billion annually for the local economy and supports more than 1,000 construction workers during renovations, while Donna described Spectrum Center as a year-round hub for NBA games, concerts, and community events. Both underscored the importance of public-private partnerships in maintaining world-class venues and positioning Charlotte as a national destination.

August 2025 Luncheon: “The New Labor Landscape: How Workforce Dynamics are Reshaping the Market” with Laura Ullrich, Director, Economic Research at Indeed

Submitted by Stephanie Jenson, JLL

 

Dr. Laura Dawson Ullrich from Indeed Hiring Lab delivered eye-opening workforce insights at CREW Charlotte’s August luncheon, revealing how labor dynamics are reshaping commercial real estate markets.

 

The Current Reality The job market is cooling but stable and companies keep hiring, openings remain elevated, and layoffs stay low. Yet uncertainty looms large, with recession odds swinging from 22% in January to 45% by April 2025.

 

What’s at Stake for CRE Tax cuts and deregulation could fuel economic growth, boosting tenant expansion and space demand. However, tariff volatility and immigration restrictions threaten to slow business growth, shrinking your tenant pool and limiting space utilization.

 

Your Action Plan Smart CRE professionals must track tenant hiring trends, brace for persistent remote work impacts on office demand, and craft flexible leasing strategies. The Fed’s balancing act between inflation control and economic stability will directly impact occupancy rates and investment decisions. Understanding workforce shifts isn’t optional, it’s your competitive edge.

 

In this dynamic landscape, visionary CRE professionals who embrace workforce trends as growth catalysts will not just survive, they’ll thrive and lead the industry forward.

Submitted by Stephanie Jenson, JLL and Amy Jones, HDR

The CREW Charlotte June luncheon featured American Airlines’ Airport & Government Affairs and Corporate Real Estate teammates Tracy Montross, Amanda Zhang, and Reshma Soni. American Airlines, the 5th largest employer in Mecklenburg County, continues to demonstrate substantial economic influence in the region. The panel discussion included cost comparisons across major US airports, positioning CLT favorably among peers like LAX, SFO, and ATL.

 

Recent and upcoming facility developments showcase American Airlines’ commitment to Charlotte:

  • American Regional Training Center – Opened March 2024
  • PSA Back-Up Operations Control Center & Transition Headquarters – Opened September 2024
  • PSA New Headquarters – Coming January 2026

 

The team emphasized the importance of efficient flight operations and facility modernization to enhance passenger experiences “from curb to gate.” American Airlines maintains strong development momentum at CLT, focusing on long-term growth strategies despite industry challenges.

 

For CRE professionals, these projects represent significant opportunities, signaling stable anchor tenancy from a major employer and driving demand for adjacent real estate development along transportation corridors serving these facilities. The airport continues to generate substantial revenue for North Carolina while creating commercial real estate opportunities throughout the Charlotte region.
