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 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 cuesfrom the local culture and the nation's best urban settings. Golden Belt anticipates receiving a LEED Silver or Gold rating later this year in recognition of its sustainable, green features. 

Opportunities for Artists & Entrepreneurs
As an arts hub, Golden Belt brings with it rare opportunities for arts-focused entrepreneurship, creativity, collaboration and exploration. Currently, our team is working closely with the arts and small business communities in North Carolina and beyond to bring emerging artists and entrepreneurs with inspired concepts to Golden Belt. Start-up possibilities range from independent retail and restaurant ventures to artist or retail cooperatives. Click here to see GB's newest art retail concept, LabourLove Gallery, in action.
