With a stable and diverse economy, Durham as a whole has seen considerable growth in recent years. The population of Durham’s metro is young, with more than a third of the population between the ages of 20 and 34, but the metro population has outpaced the national average with growth in every age bracket. Overall, Durham has seen its population increase roughly 20% in the last decade.
Major economic drivers include the medical-related industries and education systems located in Durham. Duke University, Duke Medical, and the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill draw people to the area, and the substantial number of healthcare, tech, and financial jobs available in Downtown Durham keep them there. Employment growth in recent quarters has been more than triple the rate observed nationally as Durham’s employment growth has several times exceeded 3.5% annually.
To accommodate the growing workforce in Durham, there are multiple projects currently under construction and approximately 1 million square feet of office space expected to be delivered in 2020. One of the metro’s largest projects is 555 S Magnum Street, a mixed-use office/retail development, scheduled to deliver March 2020. The project contains about 252,800sf of space, more than 40% which is preleased to major tenants including the co-working firm Spaces and the U.S. headquarters for the online insurance marketplace firm Policygenius. Other projects include Innovation I, the 139,163sf office building located on Slater Rd in the Research Triangle and Erwin Terrace III, a 120,000sf building at 2812 Erwin Rd in South Durham.
With the population forecast for Durham’s metro showing a positive 1.6% increase over the next 10 years, more changes can be expected that will further transform and evolve Downtown Durham.
