MetLife Towers in Cary

The new seven story buildings on the south shore of Lake Crabtree add more than 200,000 square feet of office space to Cary. Construction is still wrapping up, but both buildings are expected to be fully operational shortly.

The new towers will house over 1,000 workers, part of MetLife’s Global Technology and Operations.

Still Hiring

All the seats in the shiny new twin towers are not yet taken.

Why Peanuts?

Sally Brown, Charlie Brown’s little sister and a main female character in the comic strip Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz, gets her very own sculpture on MetLife Cary’s new campus.

That’s becasuse Snoopy has served as a supplement logo for MetLife since 1985 to represent the company’s “warm, approachable quality.” Sally, along with other members of the Peanuts gang, are often used by the organization as well.
