Apex, North Carolina, is on the brink of a major transformation with the introduction of Veridea, a 1,200-acre mixed-use development that has been in the works for over two decades. Backed by RXR and projected to bring billions in investment, Veridea aims to be a vibrant blend of residential, commercial, and educational spaces designed to serve the community's future.
A “City Within a City”
Veridea Apex is more than just a housing development — a bold vision of modern urban planning. The community will include approximately 8,000 new homes, but residential space will comprise only 25% of the total development. The remaining 75% is dedicated to commercial and public infrastructure such as tech campuses, retail centers, life science facilities, schools, and industrial buildings. This balance aims to provide a dynamic environment where people can live, work, and learn — all in one place.
One prominent feature of the plan is a future Wake Tech campus, expected to begin construction around late 2026. This addition will bring educational opportunities directly into the heart of the development, supporting local students and professionals alike.
Infrastructure and Investment
Veridea is coordinating with the North Carolina Department of Transportation to support this large-scale project, which involves about $10 million worth of new roads and infrastructure. These upgrades ensure the area can handle increased traffic and remain accessible as the development grows.
As with any large project, there’s been community discussion — and some debate — about how Veridea will impact Apex. However, many see it as an opportunity to meet the region’s growing housing and commercial needs while fostering innovation and smart growth.
Final Thoughts
While it may be a few years before homes are available, Veridea is already shaping the future of Apex. With RXR leading the way, this Apex development is positioned to become one of the most significant projects in North Carolina, blending community living with economic and educational opportunity.
