Chapel Hill’s largest green-built, master-planned, new-home community, Briar Chapel will be a 1,500-acre community with schools, shopping, arts, and recreation facilities with a special focus on nature. A total of 900 acres is dedicated to open green space. Surface 678 is working with Newland Communities to develop a Master Plan for open space, trails, and pedestrian circulation.
