The Durham Coca-Cola Bottling Company is building a 170,000-squarefoot industrial distribution facility at the intersection of Highway 64 and Highway 751 in Apex, which will act as a new headquarters for the company as it plans to move operations out of its two current facilities in Durham and Sanford once the Chatham location is ready. The company plans to bring 180-200 employees with its move from Durham. Construction is expected to start by the first quarter of 2023, with occupancy expected in 2024. A new Food Lion opened in late August at The District, Briar Chapel’s mixed-use site straddling Highway 15-501 between Taylor Road and Ballentrae Court. The store occupies an approximately 36,000-square-foot building on 5.5 acres and has 180 parking spaces. Across the highway from Food Lion, two parcels were surveyed by McKim & Creed for a site plan containing a new fitness facility, which was submitted to the Chatham County Appearance Commission for its review in September.
