Construction is set to ramp up in 2026 for Raleigh, and we’ve got the latest scoop. Here’s what you need to know about some of the hottest mixed-use developments in the 919.
The Exchange, Midtown | Projected completion: 2027 | This 40-acre project near North Hills has had a huge year with Peregrine being named as the Best New North Carolina Restaurant and Capulet Cocktail Club‘s opening this week. We’re still waiting on the second tower and Life Time’s stunning athletic country club concept. In the end, The Exchange will have nearly 1 million sqft of office space, 300 hotel rooms, and up to 1,275 residential units.
The Creamery, Glenwood South | Projected completion: 2028 | Centered on the historic 1928 Pine State Creamery — a landmark building since 1997 now home to Sullivan’s Steakhouse, Milk Bar, and Pine State Public House — this mixed-use project is set to transform Glenwood South with a 37-story residential tower, poised to be one of Raleigh’s tallest, plus office space, ground-floor retail, and a public plaza. When complete, it will bring hundreds of new apartments and significant office space to the district.
Depot Historic District, Warehouse District | Projected completion: 2028 | Featuring a 170-key boutique hotel and over 30,000 sqft of street-level retail, this project is set to transform downtown’s The Depot, but will preserve the historic 1912 building. Expect outdoor spaces, public plazas, and pedestrian-friendly connections to the Raleigh Convention Center and Red Hat Amphitheater.
