The huge mixed-use development has hit the topping-out milestone and remains on track for an April 2022 grand opening.
Being developed by international real estate firm Hines and Columbia Development, Fenton is a 69-acre mixed-use district underway in Cary, North Carolina. It is one of the largest retail-driven mixed-use projects currently underway in the country, with the first phase delivering approximately 345,000sq ft of shops, restaurants and entertainment space, 200,000sq ft office space, a 175-key boutique hotel and a 357-unit luxury apartment community.
The topping-out ceremony follows several recent retail announcements for the project. Last week, Fenton’s leasing team announced Sports & Social will bring an upscale gaming parlor and social lounge to the project next year, marking the entertainment and restaurant concept’s first expansion into North Carolina. Earlier this year, the team announced four new retailers joining the project, including Williams Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Athleta and Von Kekel Aveda Lifestyle Salon Spa.
Following the structural topping out, facade work and window installation will begin at Fenton, and retailers will begin building out their spaces. Additionally, framing and interior work on the office and multifamily buildings will commence, and Fenton’s distinctive look will begin to take shape.
