These shops, restaurants & doctor’s offices are coming soon to a new Triangle development
Businesses will begin opening soon in a new Wake County development.
Sweetwater Town Center in Apex is still under construction, but some sections are complete.
Located off Richardson Road near Highway 64, the mixed-use development includes housing and commercial space.
Dozens of businesses, including restaurants, medical clinics, retail and a grocery store, have signed leases. The first businesses will begin opening soon, with all expected to open by the second quarter of 2025, leasing agent Preston Waldo of Retail Strategies of N.C. told The News & Observer in an email.
