A newly restored, green Golden Belt—one of Durham, North Carolina's last historic textile mills to be creatively reused—draws a dense arts energy to downtown Durham with artist studios, live/work loft apartments, offices, restaurants, retail, live music, events and more. Situated on the corner of Main and Fayetteville streets, the seven-acre campus unites an uncommonly thoughtful blend of people, arts, entertainment and commerce and takes cues from the local culture and the nation's best urban settings.

Golden Belt achieved LEED Gold certification in recognition of its sustainable, green features in 2009. GB is the largest, all-historic, Gold-certified campus in the Southeast and one of only three LEED-certified options for large office/retail space in the Triangle.  Read more.
