New Townhomes Coming to Downtown Raleigh
Oak City Overlook is an urban, townhome community developed by Verde Homes of Charlotte, NC, expected to start construction in 2021.
We are excited to announce a new townhome community conveniently located only minutes from Downtown in the Olde East district, neighboring Historic Oakwood. With 20 units available and four different floor plans to select from, Oak City Overlook offers an intuitive and immersive Raleigh experience blocks from the core of Downtown. Sales efforts are underway. Construction is expected to begin in 2021.

While there are four distinct floorplans to choose from, each townhome blends stylish finishes and high-end features to create a high-efficiency and aesthetically-inspired dwelling. An open, spacious design seamlessly combines the dining and living areas to create a functional and refined center space. Each residence comes with a rooftop terrace with stunning skyline views of Downtown Raleigh, with the option to upgrade to plush artificial turf – one of the only Downtown communities to offer this luxury feature. With flex spaces and private garages on the ground level, these homes were thoughtfully designed with adaptability in mind.
Chappell is the real estate broker for Oak City Overlook. Verde Homes of Charlotte, NC, is developing the project and will also complete construction. Harvey Architecture and Design of Hillsborough completed the architecture. For more information on Oak City Overlook, visit OakCityOverlook.com or contact 919.670.0022.
“These homes were intuitively designed – inside and out – featuring high-style with a low HERS score. Oak City Overlook prioritizes energy-efficient living and connectivity to the city in a home with cutting-edge style and timeless soul.”
Additionally, through a partnership with West Elm, modern furniture + home decor, the first 10 purchased homes also come with a $2,000 shopping credit to ensure each new residence is dressed to the nines. An expert interior designer will provide a complimentary consultation of the space and assist the 10 select residents in choosing their design pieces.

“Verde Homes has developed multifamily for-sale projects in the Charlotte market for years successfully,” stated Ron Staley, President of Verde Homes. “We think we can bring the same product to the Raleigh market with contemporary, modern designs, spacious and functional and livable floorplans. We can’t wait to show you the rooftop deck, which makes our homes so popular as it provides an additional gathering space for urban buyers.”
“The existing retail, restaurants, and office space in the area is tremendous; but what is most exciting is the continued explosive growth in the area,” Staley said. “At present, there are enormous real estate investments being made by businesses of all types just blocks from Oak City Overlook. While there are a host of recently completed residential apartment buildings in the area, there are very few new homes for sale. We will fill a void in the market and deliver 20 new, rooftop-terrace townhomes in the heart of Olde East Raleigh.”
“Oak City Overlook is set to be a fresh and energetic neighborhood – and an exciting addition to the vibrant Downtown community. We are incredibly excited to work with Verde Homes and Harvey Architecture and Design to bring these townhomes to Downtown,” said Johnny Chappell, Owner & Broker-In-Charge of Chappell. “These homes were intuitively designed – inside and out – featuring high-style with a low HERS score. Oak City Overlook prioritizes energy-efficient living and connectivity to the city in a home with cutting-edge style and timeless soul.”
