Greenfire Development & Durham
About Durham
Investing in the living, working center of Durham
Durham has a proud heritage and an innovative spirit. It’s our home city.
Downtown Durham retains the striking architecture of its historic role as the hub of America’s tobacco industry, a major railroad stop, shopping destination and the home of Black Wall Street, where African-American financial companies flourished even during segregation. Greenfire Development is investing in this pedestrian-friendly city center by re-imagining classic buildings on every scale.
Nearby, the ornate red-brick buildings that once housed tobacco factories and warehouses have become a pedestrian-friendly entertainment and office district with the Durham Bulls Athletic Park right next door.
Durham offers a fantastic quality of life. Downtown Durham blends into the campuses of two major universities, Duke University and North Carolina Central University. The schools are surrounded by historic, tree-lined neighborhoods including Trinity Park and Hayti.
Durham anchors North Carolina’s Research Triangle Region, one of the country’s top high-tech areas that is home to Research Triangle Park and global companies such as GlaxoSmithKline, Sony Ericsson, IBM, Fidelity and Biogen Idec. Forbes recently named Durham one of the country’s top 10 places for business and careers.
