Site work and new construction of a mixed-use development in Durham, North Carolina. Completed plans call for the construction of a retail development; residential development; for site work for a residential development; and retail development.
As of August 23, 2024, a developer for this project has been selected. The land will be used for apartments, hotels, retail, and labs. *The closed solicitation has been included below for reference: The City of Durham is interested in redeveloping a city-owned property and is looking for a development partner team to assist with this endeavor. The subject property, the former site of the Durham Police Headquarters (also known as the "Milton Small Building" referring to the building's architect), is located at 505 West Chapel Hill Street in downtown Durham. The four-acre site covers an entire city block and consists of the former Police Headquarters building and surface parking lots. The site is zoned within the city's Design District Core, which permits a mix of uses, by-right podium height of up to 75 feet, and maximum building height of up to 300 feet, though additional building height allowances are permitted if the development meets certain provisions, such as provision of affordable housing, green roofs, or public parking. There is an associated development plan approved for this site that outlines a minimum of 280 residential units and up to 450,000 SF of commercial space. n the second phase which includes the Request for Proposals (RFP), the City intends to invite selected firms from the RFQ phase to respond to an RFP, which will ask for an overview of the development team structure, including architects, engineers, and other subconsultants as well as a proposed site program, more detailed documentation of the development team's financial position, and a financial offer to the City for site redevelopment. The City will evaluate all complete responses to the RFP and intends to select one or more recommended development team(s) to enter into negotiations with the City to reach a development agreement. The subject property, the former site of the Durham Police Headquarters, is located at 505 W. Chapel Hill Street (see Figure 1, below). The four-acre site covers an entire city block, bounded by S. Gregson Street, W. Chapel Hill Street, S. Duke Street, and Jackson Street. The site is located at a key gateway location into Downtown Durham and is a landmark development opportunity. Due to the area's topography, it has high visibility for those entering Downtown Durham (see Figure 2, below). It is centrally located between Central Durham's primary nodes of activity, specifically Downtown Durham's Brightleaf, City Center, and American Tobacco Districts. The site is also located in close proximity to several recently delivered, under construction, and planned development projects, including the Roxboro at the Venable, a mixed-use office, life sciences, and residential development, and the ongoing development of the Durham.ID, a 14-acre area of Downtown that is being built out with new office and lab space anchored by Duke University, all of which contribute to Downtown Durham's robust life sciences and technology cluster. Downtown Durham's growing innovation ecosystem is complemented by the planned expansion of the successful American Tobacco Campus, a significant mixed-use development that will feature additional residential, office, lab, and experiential retail options, and the iconic Tower at Mutual Plaza (formerly the NC Mutual Life Building), which has been renovated to include more modern co-working space and a new outdoor plaza. The site is partially occupied by the former Durham Police Headquarters building (see Figure 4, above) and surrounding surface parking. The building became vacant in early 2019, when the Durham Police Department relocated to a new facility. The existing five-story mid-century modern building was constructed between 1956-1958 as the Home Security Life Insurance Company office building. Designed by noted architect Milton Small, the structure is considered the first example of a Miesian skyscraper in North Carolina, and the building was honored with a North Carolina American Institute of Architects award in 1959. The building's floorplate is approximately 12,000 GSF, for a total building square footage of approximately 74,300 GSF, and the building core (elevators, stairs, bathrooms, and mechanical specs) are all offset or off-center. Additional detail on the existing structure is included on the project website. The existing building, given its age and the architectural significance of its midcentury modern design, may be eligible to qualify for federal and state historic tax credits. The building is not currently on the National Register of Historic Places. Should a developer be interested in pursuing historic tax credits, the City will support the nomination process through the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office to have the building listed on the National Register of Historic Places, which is a prerequisite for eligibility for historic tax credits to offset the costs of qualified rehabilitation expenditures. Downtown Durham has gained a national reputation for its dining and bar scene, and the property at 505 W. Chapel Hill Street is within walking distance to many of Downtown's most popular restaurants and bars clustered in the Downtown core along E. Chapel Hill Street and Main Street. Brightleaf and American Tobacco are other key retail nodes in proximity to the site. These retail nodes are vibrant, walkable, and largely consist of local businesses, offering pedestrians an inviting and unique shopping experience. As of 2022, 70% of retail businesses in Downtown Durham were founded in Durham and over 90% were founded within North Carolina. Moreover, Durham household incomes are on the rise. Since 2013, the median household income for the City of Durham has grown from $49,000 to $69,500, a roughly 41% increase, indicating greater retail spending potential.
