Second Tenant Moves In At American Tobacco

New skylights dot the architecture in the Reed Building, the new home of McKinney & Silver.

The numbers are increasing at the American Tobacco Historic District in downtown Durham. Advertising agency McKinney & Silver became the second tenant to move into its offices in the complex on Monday, August 16, 2004.

The largest adverstising agency in the Triangle, McKinney & Silver is relocating from its offices on the Fayetteville Street Mall in Raleigh, their home for more than 30 years. McKinney & Silver now occupy space in the Reed Building at American Tobacco. Built in 1902, the Reed Building’s architectural detailing and loft height ceilings provide a fitting backdrop for the creative agency.

McKinney & Silver joins GlaxoSmithKline who began moving into their new offices in June. Duke University and Compuware will begin moving workers into their newly renovated offices in the near future.
