137 E Franklin St
Chapel Hill, NC 27514 Downtown Chapel Hill

The Central is an iconic Chapel Hill Landmark with unparalleled prominence and visibility in the center of downtown. Designed for connectivity, The Central is mere steps from the main campus of the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) and immediately across from Porthole Alley, the new "gateway" into campus. Straddling two of Chapel Hill's most notable commercial streets, Franklin and Rosemary, The Central serves as a unique and primary connector to campus and offers tenants and their visitors the ease of access to both streets and the vast array of dining, shopping, and service options. 137 East Franklin Street, now branded as The Central, has recently undergone extensive exterior renovations to the Franklin Street façade with plans to activate and enhance the Rosemary exterior in the near future. Full renovations of the interior spaces are currently underway that will incorporate various common touchdown and meeting areas for tenants. The Central will provide collaborative and innovative workspaces that will inspire limitless creativity. Commuting is a breeze with a recently improved parking deck. Cyclists may take advantage of the on-site secured bike storage room or surrounding bike share stations. The Central is convenient to an abundant selection of amenities in the always trending Chapel Hill neighborhood. From fun and casual hip new eateries to classic fine dining, beverages, and retail, you can recharge with an alfresco lunch, window shop, or just take a brisk walk to take in some fresh air. It's all just steps away.
