Durham Bottling Plant Redevelopment Advances
Ardent Companies has updated its plans for redeveloping a Durham Coca-Cola Bottling Company warehouse. The new development will include 370 apartments, 35 townhomes and nearly 70,000 square feet of retail space, including a grocery store.
The company is hoping to break ground in the first quarter of 2025. If it follows that timeline, the development will open in the third quarter of 2026.
The multifamily units will be a mix of studio, one, two and three-bedroom units in a seven-story building. The Triangle Business Journal reports that retail will be in six buildings, one for the grocer and five for new retailers. The grocery space will be 23,291 square feet, and the remaining buildings will hold about 15 retailers.
The Durham Coca-Cola bottling facility, built in 1961, is at 3214 Hillsborough Road, near Duke University Hospital. The more than 100,000-square-foot warehouse is on 11 acres and is assessed at about $4.5 million.
