Research Triangle Park (RTP) is an icon and model of 20th century research parks, renowned for its success in attracting and growing high-tech companies and for helping to make the Raleigh-Durham region one of the fastest growing areas of the country over the past three decades. Research Triangle Foundation aims for RTP to continue being a driving force for economic growth in the region and maintain its status as a global leader and epicenter of innovation, research, and development by re-envisioning RTP as a dynamic, sustainable, and inclusive environment.
Future Place Type Opportunities
Since 2022, Ayers Saint Gross has worked with Research Triangle Foundation and owners and tenants across RTP on a bold new vision for the next 50 years of growth in RTP. This work includes a comprehensive feasibility study to understand the scale and the opportunity for RTP 3.0. This was immediately followed by more detailed work progressing various aspects of the RTP 3.0 vision related to planning, design, engagement, zoning, transportation, and economic impact.
Leading planning and urban design for this RTP 3.0 vision and guiding the consultant team, Ayers Saint Gross continues to work alongside Research Triangle Foundation and RTP stakeholders to guide the park’s transition to support more live-work-play innovation ecosystems by strategically integrating walkable, mixed-use developments, enhancing connectivity, and promoting environmental stewardship across the 7,000 acres of RTP.
