Fortnite Developer Epic Games Just Bought a North Carolina Mall for Its New Headquarters
5th January 2021
Fortnite developer Epic Games is moving its Cary, North Carolina headquarters across town to a large shopping mall, the company announced. It’s planning to convert the 87-acre Cary Towne Center into its new home base by 2024.
Once development is complete, Epic says the site will include recreational and office space, “customized from the ground up to accommodate its long-term growth.”
Actually, I’m surprised that more big companies don’t do this. So many malls are going broke, especially during the Pandemic Panic, that they can be had for fire-sale prices. Plenty of parking, plenty of space for amenity stores to suit your employees, there’s just no down-side.
