Kane Realty announced the construction commencement of Oldham & Worth, Kane Realty’s second mixed-use residential project in the West End neighborhood of Downtown Raleigh. Located at the corner of W. Cabarrus Street and S. West Street and adjacent to the Platform project, Oldham & Worth will feature five stories of upscale apartments, first-class amenities and 4,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. Taking design inspiration from the lumber company located on the property many decades ago, Oldham & Worth will consist of 252 units ranging from modern studios to spacious multi-bedroom residences. The architectural design, which includes rough-hewn wood accents, board-formed concrete, brick, and exposed steel, seamlessly blends the neighborhood’s historic charm with industrial aesthetics.
Allen McCollum, Director of Development with Kane Realty Corporation, shares insight on the project: “By honoring the site’s history while offering contemporary amenities, we’re creating a distinctive living experience in the heart of the West End. This development is designed to appeal to those who appreciate the neighborhood’s creative spirit and seek the convenience of downtown living without sacrificing comfort or style.”
The re-development of the former Clancy & Theys headquarters with these new mixed-residential projects reinforces the West End as a dynamic and growing destination, complementing the expansion of Downtown Raleigh. The neighborhood’s proximity to the burgeoning area around Dorothea Dix Park, the Warehouse District, and Union Station, as well as its walkability to Raleigh’s Central Business District makes it a highly appealing location.
Bill King of Downtown Raleigh Alliance expressed the following sentiments: “Oldham & Worth marks a significant milestone in the ongoing expansion of Downtown Raleigh, which is experiencing a major population surge, evidenced by the nearly 4,000 residential units completed or underway since 2020. This development adds more much-needed residential density as this area continues to evolve into an urban, walkable neighborhood seamlessly connecting Downtown Raleigh and Raleigh’s own Central Park, Dorothea Dix Park.”
The West End is surrounded by breweries, bakeries and retail establishments and is a short bike ride or stroll to Raleigh’s Central Business District and Dorothea Dix Park—an urban park with over 300 acres to explore. Platform, a contemporary 442-unit apartment community, features a dynamic ground level with small-business-friendly retail spaces and six levels of apartments, all surrounding an integrated parking deck. Pedestrian entrances on both W. Cabarrus St. and Dupont Circle lead to a large central plaza and courtyard, providing an outdoor gathering space for residents and retail patrons. Developed by Kane Realty, Platform opened in phases and was completed in 2024. For more information on Platform, visit platformraleigh.com.
