Rockway

Overview

Inspired by Dorothea Dix Park and Raleigh’s Rocky Branch Trail, Rockway is an urban infill project adding to an emerging park district and connecting the downtown core to vast expanses of public park space. Positioned directly across S. Saunders Street from Dorothea Dix Park and alongside the Rocky Branch Trail, Rockway seamlessly blends urban living and retail with nature, offering a harmonious blend of exploration, play, and relaxation opportunities.

Influenced by ecological attributes, Rockway is a vibrant, trail-oriented development. The multi-phase project’s density, scale, and height are designed to respond to the proximity to downtown, planned transit infrastructure, existing greenway access, and the nature of surrounding development. The first phase consists of The Row apartments over active ground-level retail, integrated structured parking, enhanced sidewalks, and landscape design to promote neighborhood walkability and establish an outdoor social destination along the Greenway.

The second phase of vertical development in Rockway will consist of an additional 550 apartments at full build-out. The first residential building within the second phase will be known as “The Heath” and will feature approximately 375 thoughtfully designed apartment units, complemented by a wealth of amenities, including a rooftop lounge, pool, fitness center, bicycle storage, and a tranquil internal courtyard. Additionally, approximately 5,000 square feet of street-level retail space will invigorate S Saunders Street, fostering a vibrant and dynamic environment with connections to The Row. Plans for a second residential building, consisting of approximately 200 units, are currently underway.
