buildings of distinction
S
EA COAST occupies
all of the second
floor and most of
the first. The com-pany
dictated an
interior design that
includes a spacious, welcoming
lobby where visitors can turn to
the left and enter the reception
area or take the wide staircase
to offices on the second floor.
The headquarters includes
offices for corporate and admin-istrative
staff, IT, accounting
and marketing personnel,
offices, cubicles and flex space
for agents, smaller conference
rooms where agents can meet
with clients, and larger spaces
that house the Sea Coast Real
Estate Academy, which offers
courses for prospective and
existing agents from any firm,
and the Success Center, a train-ing
program specifically for Sea
Coast Advantage agents.
“Sea Coast gave us a pro-gram.
We need this many
offices, we need a real estate
school,” Loudermilk says.
The building also houses
Alpha Mortgage, Don Bullard
Insurance and Herrington
Classic Homes.
The only non-real-estate
related tenant is Drift Coffee, a
coffee shop and café.
“The owners there had a lot
of input,” Loudermilk says.
“Those guys traveled all over
the world looking at coffee
shops. We drew exactly what
they wanted.”
Having a coffee shop at the
corner of the building is a per-fect
fit, adding to the neighbor-hood
feel first envisioned.
“It all worked out in the
end,” Loudermilk says. “It all
came together.”
