This year’s “Emerging Trends” report put the Raleigh/Durham current market at No. 6 for all round potential clients. That is down from its second-area complete previous year, quashing a 4-yr run that noticed the Oak City hovering in the top rated 3.

On the flip side: the pandemic has reinforced the dominance of “Magnet” marketplaces — together with Raleigh and several many others in the hotter Sunbelt location — at the price of more mature and colder “Establishment” markets like New York and Chicago.
Magnet marketplaces are migration locations for equally persons and corporations, and most are developing more promptly than the U.S. common in phrases of equally population and work.
“Many Magnet marketplaces keep on being amongst the most favored, even if some of them have slipped a little bit this 12 months,” the report said.
Raleigh carries on to see a expanding pipeline of jobs. From significant developments in North Hills to the reimagining of Raleigh’s gateway with Downtown South and new substantial-increase residential structures in downtown, building is on the uptick.
