Agape Care Selects Downtown Spartanburg as the New Home of Its Corporate Headquarters

Agape Care Group is proud to announce it will relocate its corporate headquarters to the Montgomery Building, bringing 76 employees to Downtown Spartanburg beginning Spring 2022.

Currently located in Spartanburg County, Agape Care envisioned an office setting that would strengthen its talent attraction and retention efforts. Agape Care considered established urban locations throughout the southeast, including Atlanta Ga., Greenville S.C. and Columbia S.C., but ultimately selected Downtown Spartanburg for its emerging urban atmosphere, and the Montgomery Building for its iconic style and prominent location.

The company will lease 13,027 sq ft on the second floor of the historic Montgomery Building, which underwent significant restoration before reopening in December 2018. The space will host 33 knowledge-based jobs and 43 skilled clerical positions, some of which will be added over a five-year period to accommodate for growth. 

OneSpartanburg, Inc., and the City of Spartanburg worked together to provide local incentives to Agape Care. Spartanburg is seeing an uptick in interest in downtown office projects, reflective of the organizations’ goal to attract corporations and knowledge-based jobs to Downtown Spartanburg.
