Warehouse District

View Available Listings in Warehouse District

Centered just west of downtown Raleigh, the Warehouse District is characterized by its iconic red brick former industrial buildings dating back to the early 20th century.

The area first developed as a hub for Raleigh's railroad and cotton industries, with warehouses, factories, and depots constructed along the railroad tracks.

Companies like Dillon Supply, Briggs Hardware, and Raleigh Bonded Warehouse operated here.

After declining in the mid-1900s, the area sat underutilized for decades. It began revitalizing in the 1990s and 2000s as developers transformed the vacant warehouses into loft apartments, restaurants, galleries, and creative office spaces.

New infill projects have further expanded the Warehouse District into a vibrant live-work-play destination.

Today, the Warehouse District contains a mix of preserved historic warehouses and new mixed-use developments.

The iconic red brick architecture lends industrial character. Once desolate streets now bustle with activity from tech startups, shops, bars, and museums.
