City Gateway represents a transformative opportunity at one of downtown Raleigh’s most strategic and rapidly evolving entry points. Planned as a phased mixed-use district, the project reimagines a former data center site into a connected urban environment that brings together residential, office, educational, hospitality, mobility, and open space components in a cohesive, future-oriented development.

Positioned along the southern edge of downtown, City Gateway is designed to capitalize on Raleigh’s continued population growth, expanding innovation economy, and increasing demand for walkable, experience-driven urban districts. The project’s location creates a critical connection point between downtown Raleigh, Dix Park, surrounding neighborhoods, and emerging growth corridors, positioning City Gateway as both a gateway destination and a catalyst for long-term economic activity.

At the center of the development is a commitment to forward-looking infrastructure and sustainability. City Gateway’s fully automated parking facility will provide EV charging capability at every parking space, creating one of the most significant concentrations of electric vehicle infrastructure in downtown Raleigh. Designed to support evolving transportation technologies and future mobility demands, the facility also serves as the foundation for a publicly accessible rooftop plaza that enhances walkability, manages stormwater, reduces urban heat impacts, and creates an activated gathering space for the community.

City Gateway is also informed by the history and character of Raleigh’s Fourth Ward incorporating interpretive and public-facing elements that recognize the legacy of the surrounding community. Through ongoing collaboration with neighborhood stakeholders, the project seeks to create an authentic sense of place while contributing to the continued evolution and connectivity of downtown Raleigh.

By combining innovative infrastructure, thoughtful urban design, sustainability leadership, and a strong connection to place, City Gateway is positioned to become one of Raleigh’s most distinctive mixed-use developments and a defining component of the city’s next generation of growth.
