Why Own Luxury Homes® for Veridea / Raleigh Triangle NC
NC Children's Hospital anchor thesis
The July 2025 announcement of NC's first freestanding children's hospital at Veridea (UNC+Duke, 500 beds, 8,000 jobs, opening 2033) is the most important employer anchor in SW Wake County in decades.
Veridea Lennar specialist
Lennar is building 1,100+ SFH and townhomes at Veridea from the low $400s. OLH registers buyers before first Lennar contact.
Complete 540 infrastructure expert
Highway 540 Triangle Expressway is the infrastructure story that defines Apex and SW Wake County access.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy a home at Veridea right now?
Yes. Lennar's Phase 1 residential product at Veridea is in active construction and sales as of 2026. Phase 1 includes 319 single-family detached homes, 643 townhomes, and 148 condominiums from the low $400s. Summit House luxury apartments (two buildings) broke ground October 2025 and will open to renters in early 2028. Contact Own Luxury Homes® before your first Lennar visit.
What is the NC Children's Hospital and why does it matter for Veridea buyers?
On July 10, 2025, UNC Health and Duke Health jointly announced that North Carolina's first freestanding children's hospital will be built within the Veridea development on 230 acres. The 500-bed hospital is expected to create 8,000 new jobs when it opens in the early 2030s. Groundbreaking is planned for 2027. This is the most significant employer anchor announcement in Southwest Wake County in decades — and the 8,000 jobs haven't arrived yet.
How does Veridea compare to other Apex new construction communities?
Veridea is the only Apex master-planned development with three confirmed institutional anchors: NC Children's Hospital (UNC+Duke, 8,000 jobs, 2033), Wake Tech Conlon Campus (34 acres, life sciences, ~3,000 students, late 2026), and Lennar residential (1,100+ SFH and townhomes, active now). M/I Homes at Friendship Station and Lennar Carolina Springs are active Apex communities without the institutional anchor stack. Veridea most resembles what Lake Nona was in 2012.
What highway access does Veridea have?
Veridea is located at the intersection of US-1, NC-55, and Highway 540 (Triangle Expressway), two miles south of downtown Apex. Veridea Parkway is open and already changing commute patterns. NC 55 widening is underway. Highway 540 runs directly adjacent to the site. The Triangle Expressway provides direct access to RTP, Durham, and Chapel Hill employment centers.
