The office experience features refined industrial influenced design mixed with lifestyle-oriented workplaces such as large conference space, collaborative work areas, outdoor terraces and a bicycle center.
An extension of the existing vibrant neighborhood, while deeply rooted in the site’s transportation and industrial history, Smoky Hollow is a neighborhood reborn from history located in downtown Raleigh.
