Prime opportunity for an ENTITLED retail center on 12.85 acres adjacent to ~430 residences. This parcel is the commercial portion of the approved Atwater Station in Fuquay-Varina. Development on the east side is well under way with homes selling at a solid pace. Site work on the west side is underway. 

Fuquay Varina (Few-Quay) is among the most consistently growing communities in the Triangle region, with a 2026 population of 52,197 — a 51% increase since the 2020 Census count of 34,556, growing at nearly 6% annually. Growth here has been resident-driven: median household income is $115,497, 74% of residents are homeowners, and a median age of 37 reflects a stable, family-oriented community with durable spending patterns. Nearly 9,000 new residential units are projected across the planning area over the next decade, providing a long runway of rooftop density to support commercial demand.

The Town’s own Commercial Market Study identifies over $494 million in 10-year trade area spending potential and more than 1.5 million square feet of unmet commercial demand. This already entitled property is a prime investment opportunity.  The town is looking for a grocery-anchored retail.
