DURHAM, NC-A former 15-acre retirement community may shortly be transformed to an 850,000-sf mixed-use park near Duke University Medical Center here, about 100 miles northeast of Downtown Charlotte.
Jim Anthony, a principal in Anthony Allenton Commercial Real Estate, is asking the city for a green light to break ground on the project, according to a published article. Construction industry estimators tell GlobeSt.com the total hard construction cost of the venture, Lakeview Park, could come in at about $100 million.
The park would comprise 800,000 sf of office, 50,000 sf of retail and an undetermined number of for-sale or for-rent residential structures. Anthony needs the zoning changed from apartment and retail to mixed-use.
