EMORIE introduces 302 apartments, expanding residential options within one of the Triangle’s most active mixed-use destinations.
Located within the master-planned Alston Town Center and just 20 minutes from Downtown Raleigh, EMORIE sits at the heart of North Carolina’s Research Triangle. The community offers convenient access to top-rated schools, major employers, healthcare, parks, and a growing mix of retail, dining, and entertainment.

Located at 3905 Mahal Avenue, EMORIE features a mix of studio, one, and two-bedroom units ranging from 682 to 2,647 square feet. Residences feature open floor plans, modern kitchens with stainless steel appliances and quartz countertops, generous storage, and private patios or balconies. Scheduled for completion in Summer 2026, this new development will also offer a mix of high-end townhomes, three exclusive penthouses, and thoughtfully designed carriage units with private garages.
Community amenities include a resort-style pool courtyard with private cabanas and an outdoor kitchen, a fully equipped fitness center and yoga room, coworking and conference spaces, a gaming lounge, duckpin bowling lanes, private dining rooms, a sky lounge, and a dedicated podcast studio.
EMORIE is part of Alston Town Center, a regional mixed-used destination planned to include approximately 550,000 square feet of retail space.
