The company announced on Sunday that it had reached an agreement with Turnbridge Equities and Denali Properties to acquire the 980,000-square-foot Cary Towne Center and the 87-acre. The ultimate goal is to transform the mall into Epic Games’ new campus by 2024.
“The facilities will include both office buildings and recreational spaces, giving Epic the flexibility to create a campus adapted from the ground up to accommodate long-term growth,” a company spokesman wrote.
Epic Games has been based in Cary for over 20 years and is currently housed along Crossroads Boulevard just off Dillard Drive. The company plans to operate from that location until the transition is complete.
According to a spokesperson for Epic Games, Turnbridge and Denali acquired the Cary Towne Center shopping mall in January 2019.
“We are very proud that Epic has chosen to host Cary for their new global headquarters, and we appreciate the company’s recognition of Cary’s existing assets as well as the area’s unlimited potential for their growing business,” said Mayor of Cary said Weinbrecht. “We look forward to working closely and collaborating with the Epic team as they conceptualize their new campus, and we & # 39; re excited to work with them on this exciting new development.”
Epic plans to continue working with the city of Cary, Turnbridge and Denali on the development.
Jason Davis, Managing Director of Turnbridge Equities, said: “After years of changing development plans for the center, we are delighted that the space will be utilized to its full potential and will be something the city and community of Cary can be proud of . ”
