About this space

Soft velvet, supple leather and warm light contrasts with high vaulted ceilings, exposed brick, and industrial beams to craft an unobstructed atmosphere of company and collaboration.

Meet opportunity at the top of a glass-overlook conference room, indulge in conversation, structured or not, in a library flooded by sun. Learn, connect, or philosophize in an amphitheater collective with dual presentation screens. Or maybe you bring your experience to the dining room and lifted patio for a dance extravaganza, or intimate luncheon where your bartender names drinks after your guests.

She welcomes you as you are, whether that be as a micro wedding, work party, company conference—or maybe something else. With versatility as her superpower, The Fran is more than a building. She is a living, experiential space designed with functionality and purpose to bring remarkable people together and make remarkably magical things.

Aside from the obvious benefits, you can also delight in the luxuries of the South End's bars and restaurants, the Charlotte Rail Trail, and accessibility to the light rail.

About The Fran

Our creative space is a glass box of ingenuity framed by hidden meanings and walnut paneling. Building up from her 1950's barrel vaulted bones, she is the contemporary link between nostalgia and innovation. Think: time-honored handshake agreements escorting modern luxury.

A structurally, unstructured space, she breathes creativity, diversifies traditional thought and expands curiosity. Our building dramatizes black and white, so the mind can carve out ideas and decisions with clarity. A glimpse into her space, and you're embraced by one word: intentional.
