In 2021, the City acquired several parcels in the King Charles (South) neighborhood area off New Bern Avenue known as Duplex Village. This development purchase was part of a strategic initiative to secure properties in key transit areas.
These parcels directly front the future Wake Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). The City plans to redevelop the site to include much needed affordable housing with open, green space along the New Bern Avenue street front. The plans is to also include some first floor commercial businesses of different types, if possible.
Staff plans to gather community input to guide the site’s redevelopment soon. We want to hear from you on what will be included in the development. Please check back for updates!
