Construction is underway at Carrboro’s South Green shopping center for the South Green Flats – a venture aiming to fill a housing inventory gap and the first condominium project in the community in 15 years.

The developers and real estate team held a “Going Vertical” event at Two Hills Drive on Tuesday morning to celebrate the first structures on the site being built. The project will include three buildings with a total of 63 units — 57 for-sale condos and seven for-sale commercial spaces — on more than two acres at the eastern-most side of the development off South Greensboro Road. The effort is led by the Legacy Real Property Group, which ushered the project through its development and permitting, as well as Terra Nova Global Properties, Tise-Kiester Architects, and Ballentine Associates.

South Green was not conceived as a mixed-use model, with the initial phase constructed in 2017-2019 solely as restaurants and retail spaces. But during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Legacy Real Property Group began to envision adding housing to the land — and, specifically, a form of housing more affordable than most single-family units or luxury options in Carrboro and Chapel Hill. The developers approached the Town of Carrboro about the project in 2023 before getting feedback from the town council that summer, and ultimately earning full approval earlier this year.

Tom Wiltberger — one of the principals of Terra Nova — said the approach now seems prescient based on other market research, both locally and nationally, with how people interact with what is near their homes.

“Mixed-use developments really become successful when you put residences next to small businesses,” he said to Chapelboro on Tuesday. “You create an ecosystem that the residences support the businesses, and the businesses rely on the residences. It’s a trend across our whole area — you see apartment buildings going up next to shopping centers, and condominiums and housing being densely collected near developments.”
