Developers focus on South Raleigh

“South Raleigh is undergoing a renaissance of its own, and we are excited to be part of that process,” said John Myers, president of Wakefield Development Company. “Renaissance Park is influenced by traditional design with a modern twist that gives homeowners easy access to the rapidly growing downtown area of Raleigh.”

Wakefield Development Company announced, in February, the launch of phase one construction in its newest master-planned community, Renaissance Park, located in southeast Raleigh. This initial phase will contain approximately 242 homesites with single-family homes built by W&W Partners and Bedford Builder Group. In addition to the single-family homes,there will be an offering of Federal style townhomes built by 1st American Builders.

Technology-driven features, including touch screens and Wi-Fi access scattered throughout the community, mixed with traditional southern architecture and charm will be the focus of the community. A selection of Federal-style townhomes priced from the $190s and single-family homes priced from the mid-$200s will offer truly individualized living spaces. All homesites in Phase 1 will feature rear alley loaded garages. In addition, over 380,000 square feet of retail space has been reserved for a commercial district within the community.

The community will include a 7,000 square-foot clubhouse with a state-of-the-art fitness center, full-service business center, a large pool with 4,500 square feet of water surface and a playground. At least three additional pocket parks located throughout the community will have Wi-Fi access. While residents will benefit from the community’s close proximity to major highways and easy access to downtown Raleigh, Renaissance Park has also reserved over 49 acres of open space for its residents’ enjoyment
