Rare small-suite opportunity steps from Chapel Hill's most exciting new development.
This 1,000 SF professional suite at 861 Willow Drive offers an exceptional location directly across the street from the newly redeveloped University Place — Chapel Hill's reimagined mixed-use town center anchored by a $160 million transformation that is reshaping this entire corridor. The suite features a traditional dental office layout with private treatment rooms, a reception area, and a waiting room — an ideal plug-and-play configuration for a dental, medical, therapy, or wellness practice, or easily adaptable for any professional office use.
The Location Couldn't Be Better Timed.
University Place, formerly University Mall, has undergone a dramatic reinvention by Ram Realty Advisors into a walkable lifestyle destination. The redevelopment includes more than 350,000 square feet of retail and dining, 60,000 square feet of office space, 253 new apartments, and two acres of public green space. Right across the street, 900 Willow represents luxury Chapel Hill living, with residences sitting atop ground-level retail for ultimate convenience and walkability. Incoming tenants include Solidcore Pilates, The Salty artisan doughnuts, Sweathouz Cold Plunge and Sauna, Silverspot Theatre, Bartaco, Bliss Nail Spa, and WakeMed urgent care — drawing a steady, affluent daily foot traffic that directly benefits neighboring businesses.
