While Ballantyne is known for its office space in the heart of a vibrant community, it is also home to a variety of venues (including lots of green space!) to make the most of meetings. Whether you need a casual coffee catch-up, a creative outdoor brainstorm or a power lunch, Ballantyne offers a range of options to make your meetings effective and enjoyable.

Fresh Air + Free Wi-Fi

Brixham Park is ideal for informal meetings and solo work sessions alike. With complimentary Wi-Fi in a natural setting, collaborate or catch up on emails in a relaxed, green setting. According to the National Library of Medicine, studies show that getting outside helps improve thinking, focus and more. The park’s open space provides a refreshing alternative to traditional conference rooms. Insider tip – Brixham Park is a popular food truck location if you want to fuel up during your meeting.

Walking Meetings

Pick up the pace with a walking meeting using Ballantyne’s 20+ miles of walking paths, or hop on the greenway. Cullman Park offers a lovely route, perfect for walking meetings that encourage creativity and open conversation. Walking meetings can generate increased collaboration and creativity, as referenced in a study by Stanford University.

Coffee Connections

Insider tip – add to the ease of the experience by using the Ballantyne Bolt complimentary shuttle.

Brews + Brainstorms

The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery has ample seating plus a 1-acre biergarten for a more relaxed meeting or idea-sharing session. With its fun and relaxed atmosphere, this popular brewery can lead to casual conversation, spontaneous brainstorming and idea generation. The outdoor seating and friendly service make it even more appealing for group gatherings. Insider tip – make it Vino + Vision at Postino (think Board & Bottle deal) or a Margarita Meetup at Cabo Fish Taco (take advantage of the Northwood margarita special). We’ll drink to that!
