Midtown? More like Boomtown.
The bustling RAL neighborhood is having a moment right now, and its latest arrival is one of the biggest additions to date.
Yes, we’re talking about The Exchange Raleigh, the new 40-acre mixed-use development centered around green spaces, walkability, and community connectivity.
Here’s what you need to know about this multi-phase hotspot — and how you can offer input on its future green space growth.
🏢 The grounds
You’ll find a bit of everything at The Exchange. When finished, it’ll include:
- 4+ acres of green dedicated space
- Bike and pedestrian trails
- Pollinator gardens throughout
- 1,200+ residential units
- 300+ hotel rooms
- 125,000 square feet of retail and dining
- 990,000 gross square feet of office space
1000 Social, the futuristic flagship office tower, has already opened its doors and is currently hosting tenants. There are indoor-outdoor event spaces on the way, plus huge lawn areas primed for social events and large gatherings.
Additionally, Life Time Living recently announced a three-story luxury athletic country club, rooftop beach club, and multi-family apartment tower — all within the grounds.
🌳 Your perfect park
The true heart of The Exchange, both literally and figuratively, is the stunning 4-acre park currently in the design phase for Phase One.
This green space will act as the communal hub for activity + relaxation, and Dewitt Carolinas, the developer behind The Exchange, is looking for input on the first section.
Put on your City Planner hat for a moment and ask yourself questions like:
- What does your dream park look like?
- Is there any fitness equipment or activity spaces you’d love to use outdoors?
- Are you jelly over another city’s playground design? Layout? Greenspaces?
- Have you long dreamt of a tranquil garden in Midtown?
Phase One is your chance to make your voice heard — take this survey to help shape the first phase of this exciting new community space.
