Cook Out—Proposed
Construction of a Cook Out restaurant has been proposed for the former car wash location at 900 East Williams Street, near Dunkin’. If approved, this would be Cook Out’s first location in Apex.
Chapel Ridge North Apartments—Proposed
A site plan has been submitted for a 370-unit apartment complex to be built along Chapel Ridge Road, behind the Old Navy section of Beaver Creek Crossings. Drawings and documentation show three buildings on 20 acres, along with garages, a courtyard and pool. Apartments will range from 750 square feet to 1,300 square feet with completion anticipated in 2025.
Apex Light Industrial—Proposed
Also along Hwy 64, near the intersection of Goodwin Road, a 55.68-acre tract is being proposed for “light industrial” or “tech flex” usage. Phase one indicates five buildings, each approximately 34,000 to 39,000 square feet, with the entire project not to exceed 500,000 square feet of space. Notes from a public hearing indicate changes coming to Hwy 64 in regard to increased traffic, a need for superstreets, and additional signal lights.
