The Walt Disney Company has announced a plan to build a new residential community in North Carolina.
The community, Asteria, expected to open to the public in 2027, will be located just outside Raleigh, North Carolina, and is set to be the location of 4,000 homes.
“The announcement of the Asteria community builds upon strong initial interest for our first Storyliving by Disney community in California and will expand Disney-branded communities to the East Coast,” Claire Bilby, senior vice-president and general manager of Disney Signature Experiences Emerging Businesses, said in a statement.
A collaboration with award-winning developer DMB Development, the site is planned for approximately 4,000 residences including single-family and multi-family units.
Homeowners will become part of a club and delight in the Disney lifestyle through entertainment and activities. Amenities are envisioned to include:
- Clubhouse
- Wellness center
- Community garden
- Extensive trail system
Amenities will be planned with purpose, “as places to learn new things and enjoy the delights of human curiosity,” according to Asteria.
Construction is expected to last through 2027.
