Crescent Communities broke ground this week on NOVEL UHill, a 400-unit multifamily community located in the University Hill section of Durham, N.C. The property will include five-story building along with 19 freestanding townhomes on a 6.5 acre-site.

NOVEL UHill is slated to deliver its first residences in late 2026. The developer expects to deliver the townhomes in the later phases so the area can be used for staging and logistics during construction of the mid-rise building. The apartment building will have a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom options while the townhomes will have two- and three-bedroom layouts.
