Billion dollar mixed-use development The Exchange Raleigh in Midtown is loading up on additions. Since its conceptualization in 2017 by Dewitt Carolinas, the 40-acre project has made strides for the development.

Open for biz

Last year, the development announced a collaboration with Life Time to create a luxurious and expansive community featuring various residential options, an athletic country club, green spaces, retailers, and restaurants.

The development includes condominiums + multi-family residences. The midtown project also houses 12-story office spaces in the 1000 Social tower.

Besides spaces made to live or work, there’s a ton more to explore. Retailers and places to eat currently open include:
