HUB Raleigh
HUB Raleigh is a 1 million SF student housing development located adjacent to NC State University in Raleigh, North Carolina. At the time of construction, it was the largest private student housing complex built in the United States, providing approximately 2,300 beds across 665 apartment units.
Designed to meet the growing demand for student housing in Raleigh, the development offers a modern living experience with resort-style amenities including a rooftop pool, fitness center, study lounges, saunas, hot and cold plunge pools, game rooms, and collaborative social spaces.
Barnhill played a key role in both the preconstruction and construction phases of the project, providing estimating, budgeting, procurement support, early site work coordination, and field leadership. Working as part of an integrated project team, Barnhill helped navigate complex design revisions, permitting challenges, utility coordination, and significant stormwater infrastructure modifications throughout construction.
The successful delivery of HUB Raleigh required extensive collaboration among owners, designers, trade partners, and project leadership. Through proactive problem-solving, strong partnerships, and a commitment to quality, the team helped deliver one of the nation’s most significant student housing developments and a landmark addition to NC State University’s surrounding community.
