Mixed-Use Projects, Mall Redevelopments Headline Triangle’s Retail Development Activity

by John Nelson February 7, 2022

The end of 2021 in Raleigh-Durham was marked by robust retail leasing and an increased level of investment sales in our suburbs and infill trade areas. Downtown Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill have lagged in activity, although each urban environment started to see a resurgence by mid-year, and notably Downtown Raleigh ended 2021 with record retail leasing activity. Population growth and major economic development announcements are driving these positive trends. Apple, Google, FujiFilm, several life sciences companies and most recently Toyota (just east of the Raleigh-Durham region) have highlighted economic expansion. Strong demand and a healthy retail construction pipeline have held retail vacancy to 7.1 percent despite headwinds from the COVID-19 pandemic. The healthy retail development pipeline includes several new mixed-use projects. Cary will see one of the largest active mixed-use projects in the Southeast deliver this year when Fenton opens in the spring. Hines and Columbia Development are currently finalizing the first phases of the project. Spread over 92 acres, Fenton will initially include retailers such as Pottery Barn, Williams-Sonoma and Superica, as well as apartments and office space. Over in Research Triangle Park (RTP), the Research Triangle Foundation and White Point Partners have announced Horseshoe at Hub RTP. …
