Corporate move-outs, consolidations and lease exits in Downtown Durham, planned around the district's buildings and logistics, starting with a free walkthrough.
Clearing an office in Downtown Durham
Downtown Durham sits inside the Downtown Loop and the Durham Freeway (NC-147), from the Main Street and City Center blocks south to the American Tobacco Campus and west toward Brightleaf Square. Technology and software companies, startups, Duke University offices, law firms and professional services firms are its core tenants.
The district mixes newer towers such as One City Center and 555 Mangum with mid-rise office buildings and converted tobacco warehouses at American Tobacco, Brightleaf and the Chesterfield. Converted warehouses often have heavy freight elevators but awkward loading, while newer towers load through garages and docks with tight time slots.

- Plan routes around the one-way Downtown Loop and confirm truck access to each building's dock or garage before move day.
