The project will also address stormwater issues. 'It'll have environmentally friendly buildings, we'll be tearing up some of the impervious surfaces we'll be putting in some tree canopy,” Hemminger said. Hemminger shared how one of the goals of this central hub is to get people off the roads. 'We've been doing an everywhere-to-everywhere Greenways master plan, and we have some side paths and Greenways that kind of come to this area,' Hemminger said. During the implementation of the project, a shopping mall was built which was internally divided into trade area or.

The project will also increase connectivity in Chapel Hill, and demolishing the former Southern Season store will be a fresh start in a busy area. The 272m (AED1bn) mega project, architecturally, is a near-seamless continuation of the rest of the mall. Ram Realty has agreed to invest $4.5 million in community improvements, including new multi-use pedestrian and bike paths and bike lanes. 'We will create a new main street for Chapel Hill that will be activated with the retail spaces along it, two new jewel boxes in place for music, entertainment, games, and activity,' Kurtz said.

Ram Realty Vice President of Development Jeff Kurtz says the outdoor art and event space will change the dynamic on South Estes Street. “They were very eager - Ram was very eager to interact with that and has put that all together in the same building footprint over there.” 'We also talked about affordable commercial rental space, especially for our start-up companies,” Hemminger said. Hemminger says this project focuses on combating climate change, on walkability and bike access to the site, and a decrease in the impermeable surface there.
