Midtown East

Located at the intersection of Wake Forest Road and Wake Towne Drive in Raleigh, North Carolina, 27609, Midtown East is a vibrant retail and commercial hub that seamlessly integrates into the city's bustling beltline. This dynamic development is anchored by a Wegmans grocery store, offering a wide range of fresh produce, meats, and household essentials. The area is further enhanced by a curated mix of retailers, providing residents and visitors with a diverse array of shopping and dining options.

Midtown East is part of the broader Walkable Midtown initiative, which aims to create a more pedestrian-friendly and sustainable urban environment. The project includes several key features such as two new bridges across the Beltline, one for both cars and a greenway connection, and another pedestrian bridge for walkers and bikers. Additionally, the area features a waterfront park along Crabtree Creek, which serves as the heart of a new urban district. The "Green streets" initiative adds trees and plants to streets to absorb stormwater, slow cars, and create protected places for walking and biking. A "Midtown Ring" of fully protected spaces for pedestrians and cyclists connects all major destinations in Midtown with nearby neighborhoods, fostering a sense of community and walkability.

The land-use policies in this area prioritize job and housing opportunities while ensuring a built form that creates a sense of place and supports walkability. This comprehensive approach to urban planning transforms Midtown East into a thriving, walkable community that enhances the quality of life for its residents and visitors alike. With its unique blend of retail, green spaces, and community-focused infrastructure, Midtown East is poised to become a premier destination in Raleigh's vibrant downtown area.
