RTP is evolving — and it’s starting to show

Apr 13, 2026 | News

Over $100M has gone into Hub RTP, with restaurants, retail, and public spaces now opening.

What matters:
• Credible operators entering early (e.g., Preeti Waas)
• Built around ~22M SF of workforce in Research Triangle Park
• Shift toward a true mixed-use environment

Implications:
• Owners: Rising tenant expectations around amenities
• Tenants: More competitive, experience-driven location options

Bottom line:
RTP is moving from a workplace hub to a more complete ecosystem — that shift will impact leasing strategy across the Triangle.
