At the edge of Raleigh's historic Nash Square—one of four original public squares established in the city's 1792 plan—this luxury residential tower responds to both the enduring landscape of the park and the evolving character of downtown.
One Nash Square's contemporary architecture is paired with timeless materials, drawing inspiration from the nearby Warehouse District, where the robust industrial fabric of Raleigh's railroad era established a lasting architectural language. The façade's rigorous grid of windows and precast concrete reinterpret the scale, rhythm, and solidity of these historic structures in a contemporary expression. A consistent grid unifies the building’s balanced, cohesive form.
The new building’s primary façade along West Martin Street, across from the square, features gracious balconies set within deep bays. Along the southern façade, a landscaped podium terrace offers a rooftop pool and entertaining area, extending the residential experience outdoors. Upper floors capture expansive views of the park canopy and Raleigh skyline, while landscaped outdoor spaces provide quiet retreats above the city. Inside, generous floor plans, abundant daylight, and balconies recessed within deep façade bays create comfortable living spaces.
At the base, metal-clad storefronts and a carefully scaled residential entry connect the building to both Nash Square Park and the surrounding neighborhood.
Inside, the residences are designed to feel calm, open, and connected to light and landscape—where generous layouts, deep-set balconies, and a refined material palette create a sense of quiet luxury. The interiors balance sophistication with warmth, offering spaces that feel both elevated and deeply livable.
Perched above the treetops of Nash Square, the building offers a thoughtfully curated collection of amenities designed to elevate everyday living. A landscaped sun terrace with saltwater pool invites both recreation and relaxation—all framed by sweeping views of the Raleigh skyline.
