Transforming Office Parks into Multifamily Communities

Emily Badger at The New York Times quoted CEO Clay Grubb in a feature article on the post-pandemic future of suburban office parks given their aging facilities and the trend toward remote work.

Local media is lauding Grubb Properties’ participation in the East Rosemary Redevelopment Project, a joint venture with the town of Chapel Hill. Grubb is working with local officials in Chapel Hill on a plan to revitalize the downtown area and create a hub for innovation and research, retaining more of the intellectual capital created at UNC-Chapel Hill and creating a pedestrian- and business-friendly downtown environment. Grubb’s development is located in an Opportunity Zone and is owned by the Link Apartments Opportunity Zone REIT. Qualified businesses can also benefit from Opportunity Zone tax incentives, another advantage of the Chapel Hill development.
