With the Fenton Phase 1 building shells nearing completion on Main Street, a total of 37 retail tenants have received permits to upfit their ground floor spaces. A few of the tenants are anticipating an opening date of May 1, and the developer is readying two parking decks and several temporary surface parking lots for customers. Work is also under way on the installation of final hardscape features like sidewalks and sitting walls, landscaping, signage, and the traffic signals at the Trinity Road intersection and I-40 ramps on Cary Towne Boulevard. A grand opening event is expected for the first weekend in June.

In addition, the developer is getting ready to construct the extension of Quinard Drive from Fenton to Southeast Maynard Road. Right-of-way and easement acquisition is now in progress. Construction is anticipated for late summer with a completion by fall of 2023. 

South Hills Mall sold at the end of November 2021 to the development team of Northpond and LODEN Properties. Since that time, Cary has been in discussions with the new owners about the concept of The Center, the multisport community center complex, being incorporated into their redevelopment. The development team has been very open to this concept and both parties have signed a letter of intent, highlighting the mutual desire to see The Center part of this redevelopment and outlining a series of topics that will need to be discussed during the design process. Some of those topics include land size and transaction, parking, utilities, sidewalks, and streetscapes. The development team and Cary hope to have respective design teams selected by summer.
