Pappas Properties, the Charlotte-based, leading developer of innovative mixed-use developments and wellness-focused communities across the Southeast, announced the unanimous approval from the Raleigh town council to rezone and develop a 65-townhome luxury community in Raleigh, North Carolina next to Crabtree Valley Mall. “Crabtree Village” is the working name, soon to enjoy a permanent brand. Groundbreaking is slated for September 2025.
“We’re grateful for the confidence of the town council in unanimously approving the zoning for the development of this for-lease sixty-five luxury townhome community,” said Peter A.
