Charles Schwab & Co. has acquired an Orlando corporate office park to accommodate ongoing growth in the region.

The Dallas-based financial services giant announced Friday it has purchased the Maitland Summit Park campus, where it currently occupies about 30% of the office space. The deal includes four office buildings, two garage structures and surface parking, as well as the property’s landscaping and water features.

The Orlando Business Journal, citing deeds, reported Schwab paid $122 million for the property in two sales that closed Wednesday. The company didn't disclose financial terms.

The acquisition addresses the need for additional space as Schwab continues its growth in the region, the firm said. Schwab currently employs over 1,600 people in Orlando.

Schwab employees in Orlando support businesses and functions from across the company, including Advisor Services, Investor Services, Wealth Management and Operations. The company said it planned to add training rooms, presentation suites and other amenities.

The company's Advisor Services business has a significant presence in the city.

Other companies that hold leases on the campus will continue to occupy remaining office space that Schwab isn't using, according to a press release.

“As Schwab crosses $10 trillion in assets, this investment reaffirms our commitment to Orlando and to our employees who serve our clients’ investing and wealth management needs. Orlando has been an important part of Schwab’s growth for over three decades and plays an important role in our plans for the future, as a hub for great talent supporting our firm’s growth and serving the needs of our expanding client base," the firm said in a statement.

The park is close to another office property where Schwab signed a lease earlier this year, according to the Orlando Business Journal.
