Escent Research Park | AP

YOU’VE MADE YOUR MARK ON THE LUXURY WATCH INDUSTRY.

IT’S TIME TO MAKE IT ON ESCENT.

You have revolutionized the luxury watch industry through innovative thinking and a desire to provide an exceptional experience to both your clients and employees. We build spaces that are designed to foster this creativity and innovation; inspiring and retaining top talent.

Here, you have a blank canvas to customize every square foot of Escent with your brand’s uncompromising approach to craftsmanship. We want the ability to partner with you to design and upfit Escent in order to make it your own.

WE LOVE YOUR VALUES, BECAUSE THEY’RE SO MUCH LIKE OUR OWN.

Audemars Piguet and Crescent share common values and a common mission. This is a partnership with promise. We are looking to embrace your company’s culture and personify it in this building.

CRESCENT COMMUNITIES mission is to BUILD COMMUNITY and BETTER PEOPLE’S LIVES

YOU CREATE FAR MORE THAN WATCHES. YOU CREATE STUNNING WORKS OF ART.

You believe “the power of contemporary art is to connect and be connected.” We couldn’t agree more. In fact, we believe art is a part of the fabric of a community. That’s why we source local artists to transform blank walls, parking decks or parking garages into vibrant, transformative creations. We intend to work with you to create pieces of art throughout Escent that are worthy of the Audemars Piguet name.

FOR US, BEING GOOD STEWARDS OF THE ENVIRONMENT COMES NATURALLY.

Being good stewards is fundamental to the pursuit of our mission to build community and better people’s lives. We strive to make decisions that address current and future challenges and will have a positive impact on the planet, the people and the places we build and call home. We hold ourselves accountable through regular evaluation of our practices based on our 4 Pillars of Stewardship:

ENVIRONMENT COMMUNITY WELLNESS RESILIENCY

23 REGIONAL HEADQUARTERS CALL UNIVERSITY HOME.

Not only do people work here, but they also live here too. University City is the 2nd largest employment district in Charlotte. Why? It’s easy, convenient, fun and inclusive. With over 75,000 people that work here, you have over 75,000 chances to find the perfect employee in this area alone.

University is a great place to live, no matter what stage of life you’re in. Centrally located north of the city, your employees can choose to reside in quaint family-friendly neighborhoods, highly amenitized apartments like NOVEL University Place*, stunning lake communities, beautiful horse farms or burgeoning central Charlotte.

*Imagine

Anchored by UNC Charlotte, the largest and most diverse university in the UNC system, the talent supply is young and educated. In close proximity to early childcare centers, magnet, charter, public and private schools, we have education covered.

BUSINESS IS IMPORTANT, BUT EDUCATION IS EVERYTHING.
