At the Chapel Hill Town Council’s latest meeting, council members opened a public hearing regarding the University Place redevelopment.
According to the applicant, Ram Reality Advisors, who bought the 43-acre site back in 2018, the redevelopment will “transform University Place into a walkable town center and introduce new uses to complement the existing commercial uses.”
Ram Realty is currently asking the town to modify the mall’s Special Use Permit to allow buildings up to 90 feet tall on part of the University Place site on South Estes Drive, and up to 75 feet tall in another part.
Buildings up to seven stories tall could be built along Fordham Boulevard and Willow Drive under a plan submitted to the town. The buildings along Estes Drive, where flooding remains a serious concern, could be up to three stories. (Photo via Ram Realty)
