High price luxury condos headed to downtown Durham

Renderings of the project reveal a 27-story “mixed use” building, which will boast prices from $700,000 to $1.7 million.

Donny Roberson, who works in downtown Durham, said he was shocked to hear how much the apartments cost.

“Wow; that’s honestly the first thing that pops in my mind … wow,” Roberson said.

The building will also feature luxury apartments and retail space.

“I think it’s a little pricey for Durham,” Phil Cole said. “I don’t really think this is New York or San Francisco.”

Brooks said the demand is there and shows people who can afford luxury are looking to make Durham home.

“I certainly don’t think anyone wants to see everyone price out of downtown,” she said. “That would be what happens if everything was at that price.”
