A new era for an icon.

We’re transforming University Place into a vibrant community hub in the heart of Chapel Hill, with chef-driven restaurants, eclectic shops, live entertainment, and walk/bike-focused residences. Explore what’s coming UP.

Master Plan

Made of Chapel Hill.

Well connected to the University and the rest of town, University Place has always been a spot that feeds Chapel Hill’s functional needs and its creative desires, bringing people and culture together. Opened as an indoor mall in 1973, the site was and is the town’s most central and social destination to buy goods, enjoy a seasonal meal, or catch up with friends.

Built for the way we live, work, and play today, the redevelopment of University Place will connect the past to the present through a welcoming mixed-use design built for the 21st century.
