In 2002, Lowe's acquired full control over the {{convert|440,000|sqft|m2}} building after the 10 remaining mall tenants vacated the property. A year later, Lowe's constructed and relocated the corporate headquarters to a new, 350-acre campus in [[Mooresville, North Carolina]]. The new facility contains a five-story and two seven-story buildings. The building has a central atrium and two office wings; the atrium houses a food court, a five-story spiral staircase, and meeting and reception rooms. A {{convert|7|acre|ha|adj=on}} lake flows underneath the headquarters building.{{Citation needed|date=April 2020}} Lowe's maintained its former headquarters in Wilkesboro, where it employed over 2,400 people until 2019. In 2011, Lowe's invested $10 million in improvements and renovations in the property, including a full-service food court, coffee shop, and health center, as well as gating the entire property with an addition of a guardhouse.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.journalpatriot.com/news/lowe-s-adding-jobs-in-wilkesboro/article_3ab26438-cb9e-11e7-a0f8-ab12ae7659ce.html |access-date=June 17, 2018 |date=November 17, 2017 |title=Lowe's adding 200 jobs in Wilkesboro |work=[[Wilkes Journal-Patriot]]}}</ref> All positions have since been relocated and the former Wilkes corporate office is vacant, although still owned by Lowe's. In addition to Wilkesboro, Lowe's formerly operated a customer contact center in [[Albuquerque]], [[New Mexico]], both of which quietly closed in 2023. Currently, customer contact centers remain in [[Indianapolis]], [[Indiana]] and [[India]]. On June 27, 2019, Lowe's announced the construction of a $153 million, 23-story tower in [[Charlotte, North Carolina|Charlotte's]] fast-growing [[South End (Charlotte neighborhood)|South End]] neighborhood, which will be completed by 2020 and eventually house 2000 employees, 400 of whom will move from the headquarters. The new tower will house a "global technology hub" for Lowe's. The state of North Carolina is providing $54 million in incentives provided Lowe's meets certain goals.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/business/article231952298.html| title=Lowe's picks South End for tech hub, 2,000 high-paying jobs and a new 23-story tower| last=Peralta| first=Katherine| work=[[The Charlotte Observer]]| date=June 27, 2019| access-date=June 30, 2019}}</ref>{{update inline|date=February 2022}}
