Crescent Communities is excited to announce NOVEL UHill is actively under construction, and we expect the first residences to be available in late 2026!

Located in Durham’s dynamic University Hill neighborhood with unbeatable proximity to the area’s foremost research, healthcare, and academic institutions, NOVEL UHill is designed to spark curiosity and ignite discovery through engaging resident programming and amenities that encourage exploration and play.

Blending modern and unexpected design elements, the community will feature original materials sourced from Durham and warm aesthetics for a chic and distinctly local experience. NOVEL UHill will also incorporate art installations throughout, tying into the neighborhood’s nationally recognized UHill Walls program – a dense, walkable art experience featuring over 40,000 square feet of murals across 15 acres.

NOVEL UHill will contain a five-story mid-rise building with studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences, along with 19 freestanding two- and three-bedroom townhomes.

 

We look forward to sharing more soon!
