Duke Energy Headquarters
Duke Energy relocated its headquarters to the second-tallest building in Charlotte, North Carolina. The energy giant's building contains wallboard which started at its own power stations just across the river. The wallboard was made of byproduct gypsum from four Duke steam stations – Marshall, Allen, Cliffside, and Bellews Creek – at the Gold Bond Building Products, LLC Mt. Holly Plant.
