Research Triangle Park unveils new master plan
Research Triangle Park leaders announced that Hines, an international real estate firm with a U.S. headquarters in Houston, has been selected to support the redevelopment plan of the Triangle’s business park.
RALEIGH (WTVD) — The Research Triangle Foundation, which manages Research Triangle Park, announced a new master plan for the park Friday. Officials said the plan gives RTP a more urban design that’s intended to “attract a new generation of entrepreneurs and creative employees.”
“Companies and employees today want an environment and an experience that encourages collaboration and creativity. Our new Master Plan is designed to do just that,” offered Bob Geolas, President and CEO of the Research Triangle Foundation in a statement. The new master plan calls for a transformation of the Park’s 7,000 acres into an innovative design that is more sustainable than the current model, according to officials.
It addresses access and land use issues and proposes adding more housing and shops, along with links to future transit.
