While the homes at 140 West Frankin will offer residents an ideal lifestyle, Franklin Street Plaza will serve as the community’s new gathering place. This large pedestrian-friendly complex — the only of its kind in Chapel Hill — will connect Franklin Street boutique shopping and Chapel Hill's historic district. The Plaza will feature soaring colonnades, breath-taking sculptures and spaces to relax over a cup of coffee or enjoy a leisurely lunch with the family. In addition to providing elegant shopping, dining and art, Franklin Street Plaza will host a wealth of community events and activities, enhancing the already rich flavor and vitality of Franklin Street for the entire neighborhood.

The design of Franklin Street Plaza has been entrusted to world renowned artist, Mikyoung Kim. Through her work, Kim has transcended the traditional role of landscape architect and has created spatial narratives that encourage public interaction with art and landscape. Kim’s unique style of sculpture and landscaping will not only encourage people to directly engage with her art, but also to engage and connect with each other. One more reason why 140 West Franklin is close to your heart and in the center of it all.
