Crescent Communities Begins Renovations on SouthCourt Building
Durham, NC – (January 31, 2023) – Crescent Communities, a nationally-recognized, market leading real estate investor, developer, and operator of mixed-used communities, has kicked off renovations on SouthCourt, the premier office destination in Durham. Acquired by Crescent Communities last year, the six-story building is located within walking distance of the bustling University Hill mixed-use development, making it an ideal office location in this growing submarket.
“We’re thrilled to begin these improvements, which will further solidify SouthCourt as the most desirable office and retail offering in the South Durham submarket,” said Sagar Rathie, Managing Director of Commercial at Crescent Communities. “Four move in ready suites, which have been hugely successful for our office properties in other markets, are under way as well and will be ready for occupancy in Q2 2023.”
Current and future SouthCourt tenants will enjoy a refreshed lobby and common areas, improvements to restrooms, and an expanded outdoor patio space. Additional on-site amenities are unparalleled for the Durham area and include a personal training facility, full-service salon, private terraces on upper floors, free and ample parking, and a fully equipped conference center. On the ground floor, retail space is available for leasing through CBRE | Raleigh. Retail availabilities include café and commercial kitchen spaces along with potential for outdoor patio seating.
“We’re excited by the SouthCourt building updates and believe the retail opportunities are very attractive within a dynamic South Durham submarket,” said Matt Larson, Executive Vice President of CBRE | Raleigh.
In addition to common area upgrades, Crescent Communities is investing in four move in ready suites, set to be fully updated and equipped with high-end finishes and eye-catching architectural improvements. Each suite will have a distinct modern design, and will vary in size, ranging from approximately 1,600 square feet to over 7,000 square feet, fitting the individual needs of each potential tenant.
“SouthCourt’s office environment is complimented by convenience onsite with nearby food and drink establishments at UHill, including Ashley Christensen, a James Beard Award winner for Outstanding Chef in the US,” said Dennis Hurley, Managing Director, JLL Raleigh. “We’re excited to offer move-in-ready conditions to attract new office tenants to this dynamic and growing area.”
