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.
