Raleigh, NC, United States of America - July 31, 2015 /MarketersMedia/ — Investment and development partners celebrated the ground breaking of their newest mixed-use luxury student apartment community in Raleigh, North Carolina.

A combination of 1, 2 and 4 bedroom apartments will be offered, including four penthouse units on the fifth floor. Three thousand, eight hundred square feet of Class A Retail Space is available for lease on the Ground Floor.
Developer Nikita Zhitov said, “Hillsborough Street is one of the main thoroughfares into Downtown Raleigh, and want to introduce our city to visitors with new, Class-A spaces like our development. The City of Raleigh and NC State University have put significant efforts into redeveloping the Hillsborough streetscape, and we are happy to contribute to these efforts.”
He also mentioned that Ted Van Dyk of New City Design Group was instrumental in coordinating the successful rezoning of the property, working with City Council Members and the Planning Commission. Partners Bobbitt Design Build is the Carolinas’ largest design build contractor for commercial construction, while New City specializes in urban infill, mixed use projects, as well as unique restaurant, retail and office design.

The level of cooperation with these tremendous business professionals encourages me to look to the future. As we continue acquiring land in the City of Raleigh, we will deliver more mixed use developments to the local community.”
