Frequently Asked Questions
What is Veridea in Apex NC?
Veridea is a 1,100-acre master-planned mixed-use development in Apex, North Carolina, developed by RXR (a $7 billion national developer). Located at the intersection of US-1, NC-55, and Highway 540 (Triangle Expressway), two miles south of downtown Apex. At full buildout over a decade-long timeline, Veridea will include approximately 8,000 residential units, 12 million square feet of commercial space, 3.5 million square feet of retail and hospitality, a Wake Tech Community College campus, NC Children’s Hospital (500 beds, UNC + Duke partnership), and an elementary school. Phase 1 includes 1,500 multifamily units (Summit House luxury apartments opening early 2028), plus 1,100 single-family homes and townhomes by Lennar, and 150,000 sqft of retail.
What is the NC Children's Hospital connection to Veridea?
On July 10, 2025, UNC Health and Duke Health jointly announced that North Carolina’s first freestanding children’s hospital will be built in the Veridea development in Apex — on 230 acres within the site. The hospital will have 500 beds, a surgical center, and a medical office building. Groundbreaking is planned for 2027 and opening by 2033. It is expected to create 8,000 new jobs. This is the most significant single employer-anchor announcement in Southwest Wake County in decades — and one of the largest healthcare investments in North Carolina history.
When can I buy a home at Veridea?
Lennar’s 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. Floor plans range from 1,544 to 3,152 square feet with two to four bedrooms, from the low $400s. The Summit House luxury apartment complex (two buildings) broke ground in October 2025 and is expected to open to renters in early 2028. The broader Veridea Place retail and civic center is a later-phase buildout. Contact Own Luxury Homes® for current Lennar availability at Veridea.
How does Veridea compare to other Apex new construction?
Veridea is the only master-planned development in Apex with three institutional anchors confirmed: NC Children’s Hospital (UNC+Duke, 500 beds, 8,000 jobs, 2033), Wake Tech Conlon Western Wake Campus (34 acres, 3,000 students, life sciences focus, late 2026 construction), and Lennar residential (1,100+ SFH and townhomes). Other Apex new construction communities (M/I Homes Friendship Station, Lennar Carolina Springs, M/I Retreat at Friendship) offer individual community product without the mixed-use institutional anchor stack. Veridea is closest to what Lake Nona in Orlando represented in 2012 — a master-planned community where institutional anchors were being confirmed before the residential population arrived.
