Epic Games has announced plans for the company’s new headquarters, which will open in 2024.
The company revealed on its website that it has acquired the Cary Towne Center, a 980,000-square-foot, 87-acre shopping mall in North Carolina, as the location of its new headquarters. Epic will begin redeveloping the space this year with plans to open by 2024, and in the meantime it will remain at its current Crossroads Boulevard headquarters.
In its statement, Epic revealed that the new headquarters will include “both office buildings and recreational spaces, allowing Epic the flexibility to create a custom campus from scratch to accommodate its long-term growth.” The company added that it is working with the city of Cary, where its new headquarters are located, to develop the space and to explore “ways the community could use some of these properties.”
“We are extremely proud that Epic has chosen to call Cary home for its new global headquarters,” said Mayor Harold Weinbrecht. “We look forward to continuing to work closely and collaboratively with the Epic team as they conceptualize their new campus, and we are honored to partner with them on this exciting new development.”
Epic Games acquired Cary Towne Center from Turnbridge Equities and Denali Properties, which had initially purchased the property in January 2019 following “the loss of three of its five anchor tenants.”
“After years of changing development plans for the Center, we are delighted that the space is being used to its full potential and becoming something that the city and the Cary community can be proud of,” said Jason Davis, Managing Director of Turnbridge Equities.
In other Epic Games news, the company has been embroiled in a legal battle with Apple since mid-August 2020. At the time, Epic Games sued Apple for removing Fortnite from their App Store after the developer presented an option for players to buy Fortnitein-game currency from Epic’s own store, bypassing Apple.
