/ September 7, 2017Where is the Chapel Hill “Innovation District”?
Nancy
/ September 7, 2017It’s still in the formation stage, but basically growing from a core at Church Street and West Rosemary. It includes Google (on Church) and LaUNCh (on W. Rosemary) and the small brick building at the corner that looks like a ranch house and at one point belonged to the pharmacy school. Now I believe it is being rented out to small technology businesses and entrepreneurs.

/ September 8, 2017Based on Nancy’s post and the Town’s web site, I think there might be brand confusion.

/ September 8, 2017Allow me to help by first saying I am immensely proud of NanoVest’s rapid advancement and maturity. Their founders and staff represent themselves, their company, UNC and Chapel Hill very well. Second, the Innovation District (term coined by Judith Cone) currently comprises the buildings between West Franklin Street and West Rosemary Street, with Church Street on the East side and both LaUNCh buildings on the West side. It includes Google’s offices, 6 new wet labs under construction on Church Street, UNC’s Office of Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Economic Development (Judith Cone) on the main floor of 109 Church Street, and about 15,000 sq. ft. of startup friendly space available behind/below/above 206 West Franklin (where Lee Buck and Tim Toben started and grew their companies before selling them). And a Target with a Starbucks just across West Franklin Street! I understand another company from LaUNCh and about 20 staff are moving to the ground floor of Greenbridge where the yoga/barre studio was.
