CityPlat, a Raleigh-based real estate firm, plans to redevelop the historic Borden Brick and Tile Co. factory site in downtown Durham into a retail and entertainment hub called “Borden Brick,” featuring a taqueria, coffee shop, ice cream parlor, and space for unique restaurant concepts. Scheduled to begin construction in early 2025 and complete by summer, this project is located in an opportunity zone, allowing for optimized financing and aligning with CityPlat’s strategic focus on similar areas following their recent initiative in Garner.
