Altera Heights: A New Chapter in Affordable Living
On August 6, 2026, a significant milestone for housing in the Triangle area was achieved as Wood Partners and Marcus Partners officially broke ground on the Altera Heights community. This project is designed to meet the increasing demand for accessible housing in Apex, North Carolina, a suburb of Raleigh, within one of the fastest-growing regions in the state.
Located at the intersection of Jenks and Wimberly roads, Altera Heights will comprise a total of 280 modern multifamily units, offering a variety of configurations, including one, two, and three-bedroom apartments. This development is not just another housing project; it reflects a well-thought-out approach aimed at enhancing the living standards of the community while being cognizant of the evolving needs of its residents.
A Commitment to Community
Caitlin Shelby, Managing Director at Wood Partners, emphasized the importance of collaboration in realizing this project's vision. She stated, "Great communities begin with collaboration. Our goal was to create a community that responds to Apex's evolving housing needs while complementing the town's long-term vision." This commitment to working with local authorities and stakeholders has been central to the project, which will also feature income-restricted affordable housing, broadening the options available for potential residents.
Expanding Horizons with Marcus Partners
In collaborating with Marcus Partners, a firm specializing in real estate investments and development, Wood Partners is marking its first ground-up development in the Raleigh-Durham area. Andrew Dolinsky, Partner, Investments at Marcus Partners, expressed enthusiasm about this new venture, noting that Altera Heights is a strategic investment in a location with robust fundamentals and market appeal. The project underscores their ongoing commitment to expanding their presence in the Southeast.
Luxurious Living at Affordable Prices
Altera Heights is designed with resident comforts in mind. The community will feature a freestanding clubhouse equipped with a state-of-the-art fitness center, co-working space, gaming and lounge areas, and a resort-style swimming pool. Outdoor amenities include a fitness area, dog park, and pet spa. The residential units will boast high-end finishes, including luxury vinyl plank flooring, quartz countertops, and stylish cabinetry, making upscale living accessible.
A Prime Location
This community is strategically positioned approximately 15 minutes from Research Triangle Park, enhancing its attractiveness as a residential choice for professionals in life sciences, healthcare, and industrial sectors. North Carolina’s booming job market and its ranking as the third fastest-growing state play a pivotal role in the demand for new housing development. As Altera Heights aims to fulfill this demand, it stands to benefit from ongoing employment growth and investment in the region.
A Bright Future Ahead
The groundbreaking of Altera Heights adds to Wood Partners' impressive portfolio of projects in the Raleigh-Durham area, with three other major developments already underway since 2025. Their continual efforts reflect a strong commitment to enhancing the residential landscape in North Carolina. For individuals interested in exploring new housing options in a thriving community, Altera Heights is set to make its mark, welcoming future residents by the end of 2027.
