The company announced on Sunday that it had reached an agreement with Turnbridge Equities and Denali Properties to acquire the 980,000-square-foot, 87-acre Cary Towne Center. The ultimate goal is to transform the shopping center into the new Epic Games campus by 2024.
“The facility will include office buildings and recreational spaces, allowing Epic the flexibility to create a custom campus from the start to accommodate its long-term growth,” wrote a company spokesman.
Epic Games has been well established in Cary for over 20 years and is currently located along Crossroads Boulevard, close to Dillard Drive. The company plans to operate from that location until the transition is complete.
Turnbridge and Denali acquired the Cary Towne Center in January 2019, according to an Epic Games spokesman.
“We are extremely proud that Epic has chosen to call Cary home to its new global headquarters and we greatly appreciate the company’s recognition of Cary’s existing assets, as well as the area’s unlimited potential for its growing businesses,” said Cary Mayor, Harold Weinbrecht. “We look forward to continuing to work closely and collaboratively with the Epic team as they conceptualize their new campus and we are honored to partner with them in this exciting new development.”
Epic plans to continue to work with the city of Cary, Turnbridge and Denali on development.
Jason Davis, the managing director of Turnbridge Equities, said: “After years of changing development plans for the Center, we are thrilled that the space will be used to its full potential and transformed into something that the city and the Cary community can Be proud. ”
