Sutton Station was one of Durham’s first true mixed-use projects, incorporating 100,000-square-foot of office space, 48,000-square-foot of commercial space, and 57 upper story apartments in a series of 1-2 and 3-story buildings on a 15.94-acre parcel. The project began in 1999 with final phases wrapping up in 2006 and updates in 2014.
The design won the 2008 Golden Leaf Awards from the City of Durham. The jurors were impressed by the well-designed pedestrian spaces and the bespoke flair of the design in relation to its surroundings, praising the ivory colonnades.
The jury remarked: In a world of strip mall development, Sutton Station shows that there is a better way. With plazas, colonnades, and a fountain that evoke images of European markets, this mixed-use development creates a place that encourages visitors to walk, relax, and enjoy their surroundings. The buildings are oriented to have a strong presence on the street through a raised profile, which is a difficult task in such a high traffic area. Ample landscaping, pedestrian amenities and generous use of design elements set this project apart from its competitors.
