The move doubles BooneOakley's space to 8,000 sq. ft., with the remainder available for expansion. BooneOakley has been nearby at 101 W. Worthington Ave., since 2003.
The six-year-old firm employs 20, up from 6 staffers 3 years ago.
Clients include, Visit Charlotte, Bloom grocery stores, NASCAR, Carmax, as well as national cable network Speed, which recently rehired the firm. Capitalized billings for BooneOakley totaled $7.7 Million in 2005.
BooneOakley, which was represented by Bill Diehl of Diehl Properties, paid $2 million for the property.
