The Iron Works district is the site of the former Peden Steel and includes two historic warehouse structures that are being re-purposed for future uses. Phase one is complete and future phases will follow. The district will include office, residential, retail, and parking, and will connect to an adjacent adaptive reuse warehouse project, creating a creative hub near downtown Raleigh.
Stewart is the lead for site permitting and civil engineering, and is the landscape architect of record for this 18.5-acre, mixed-use project that includes three architects and two developers. Some of the major goals for the site included connecting the district to the greater Raleigh greenway system, connecting to nearby neighborhoods and downtown, and keeping the distinctive, industrial quality of the space. The site includes public infrastructure and roadway improvements, amenity spaces that include outdoor dining areas, plazas, walkable streets, and native plantings. Several historic elements of the former factory were re-purposed on the site.
