Acquisition By Lease - NC State University - CALS IR-4 Project National Headquarters office

NC State University is seeking proposals to lease approximately 7,000 rentable square feet of office space on Centennial Campus in Raleigh, with proposals due October 2, 2026 at 4:00 PM via the eVP portal.

The space must accommodate 39 employees with private offices and open workstations, one small conference room (approximately 15 seats), access to a larger training room (50+ seats), an eat-in break room, work/copy room, and secure file storage with specialty gas fire suppression compliant with US EPA GLP standards. On-site parking is mandatory. The facility must be completely free of hazardous asbestos and hazardous lead paint, and must comply with all local and state building safety codes, zoning requirements, and OSHA provisions for the handicapped. NC State favors products and materials with recycled content and requires facilities for handling recyclable materials (plastics, aluminum, waste paper, and cardboard).

The lease term is six years with renewal options available, with occupancy required October 2027. Renewal option rates that include indeterminable percentage increases, such as uncapped Consumer Price Index adjustments, are not acceptable during either the initial term or any renewal periods. Pricing proposals must be submitted on a net-square-footage basis and include annual rental rates, annual rent per square foot, and clarification of whether utilities, janitorial services, and water/sewer are included. Lessor proposals must specify the number of employee parking spaces provided at no additional charge to the State. Proposers are responsible for all expenses incurred in proposal preparation. NC State reserves the right to reject any proposal for any reason deemed warranted and may engage third-party tenant representation.
