HUB RTP will be a dynamic place for living and learning. Centrally located in the Research Triangle Park, this new community of collaboration will be a place for gathering, a series of neighborhoods, a destination for shopping and leisure, a showcase for new technologies, and a venue for education and entertainment. Phase I will include outdoor amenity and park spaces, two hotels, corporate office towers, incubator space, a wetlands meadow, and 300,000 square feet of retail, including a cinema, a grocery, restaurants, and workforce housing. Nature is central to the plan with the parks an amenity spaces being public land, the main focal point of the open space is the restoration of an existing stream that is currently a rip rap, engineered channel.
