Carolina North
The Carolina North Campus has been the focus of a series of planning efforts and community discussions that culminated with the Town and University's June 2009 approval of a development agreement. The development agreement contains guidelines and standards for the development of the first 3 million square feet of a mixed-use research and academic campus on 133 acres. Early development will be near the Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Piney Mountain Road intersection. The agreement also contains guidelines for the rest of the property that will not be developed in the near future.

Approved Development Agreement
On June 22, 2009, the Chapel Hill Town Council approved a Development Agreement with the University of North Carolina at Chapel for a satellite campus on the Horace Williams Tract, which is located north of Estes Drive and west of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Named Carolina North, the satellite campus is proposed to cover approximately 250 acres of the Horace Williams Tract’s 1,000 acres and will be built in phases over the next 50 years.
The development agreement includes specific limitations and detailed conditions of approval that protect the Town’s interests, while also offering certainty to the University regarding what type of development can occur. This website will be updated regularly with information and materials related to the approved agreement and the future planning processes that will support Carolina North and Chapel Hill.
