New DTR apartment building to bow this year raises the bar on luxury living.
Over two years ago we spotlighted The Eastern’s primo penthouse, then priced at a whopping $14K/month, and asked if it was a sign that Raleigh had officially “made it” into the big leagues—or if we had simply lost our minds.
Well, an answer has emerged. Clearly, Raleigh is ready, evidenced by such additional properties as 400H and Mira. And, now, adding to the ever-growing roster is the mid-April delivery of Maeve, one of the first apartment buildings to bow in DTR this year, and Capital Square’s first residential development in the City of Oaks.
Leveling up local “luxury” once again, the upscale 20-story high-rise unfurls 297 modern-meets-natural units across studio; one-, two-, three-bedroom; and penthouse options, primely positioned at a busy thoroughfare on the corner of West Lenoir Street and U.S. 401.
“Raleigh was and still is a market we have a lot of confidence in,” says Capital Square Executive Vice President and Co‑Head of Development Natalie Mason. “There’s such tremendous things going on in the region.”
Originally envisioned as a four- to five-story project, plans were shifted by the Richmond-based firm to meet market demand and “do [something] special in this building compared with what renters either moving to Raleigh or already in Raleigh can’t get anywhere else,” adds Mason.
To wit, the height increase made way for an array of possibilities when it comes to amenities, which are perhaps Maeve’s most prominent selling points. Take, for one, the rooftop lounge overlooking Red Hat Amphitheater that at once feels like a peaceful retreat and a refined escape—also boasting impeccable panoramic views of Downtown. Or step out onto the large outdoor pool deck and you’ll immediately be transported to what feels like a five-star resort, complete with grill stations, an outdoor dining lounge, a firepit and a 64-foot zero-edge pool that you can actually do laps in.
For the fairway fanatics, there’s also a state-of-the-art golf simulator equivalent to what you might find at a full-fledged brick-and-mortar, a well-equipped 24-hour fitness club for the workout warriors—and for the pet parents, finally a space that meets you where you are via a pet spa for giving Sarah Jessica Barker the primo pampering she deserves.
The luxurious yet comforting ideals are echoed in Maeve’s sophisticated floor plans—outfitted to the nines with Architectural Digest-esquefeatures—from opulent quartz countertops and floor-to-ceiling windows to stellar DTR views and large balconies providing next-level alfresco living in the sky, plus the penthouses’ direct access to the rooftop lounge.
“We’re delivering something unique,” emphasizes Mason of Maeve’s never-before-seen-in-Raleigh level of grandeur. “We always feel like you need to have a variety of housing offerings for the spectrum of renters—and we definitely feel Raleigh is ready for a product like this.” maeveraleigh.com
