Sell Your Commercial Property in Apex, NC

Apex has been named one of America's best places to live multiple times, and that recognition translates directly into commercial real estate performance. Located in the heart of the Research Triangle — minutes from RTP, Cary, and Raleigh — Apex's population has exploded from 20,000 to over 70,000 in two decades, creating a commercial market where demand perpetually chases supply. Top-rated Wake County schools, median household incomes exceeding $115,000, and a revitalized downtown centered on Salem Street make Apex one of the most commercially attractive small cities in North Carolina.

Market Intelligence

Apex Commercial Real Estate Market

Apex's commercial real estate market is defined by relentless residential growth that generates downstream commercial demand faster than new supply can be built. The city's position between RTP, Cary, and Holly Springs places it squarely in the Triangle's most active residential development corridor. Every new subdivision creates urgent need for grocery, dining, medical, banking, and personal services — a demand pipeline that has driven commercial property values steadily upward for two decades and shows no signs of slowing.

Downtown Apex's Salem Street revival has transformed the historic main street into a destination dining and boutique retail corridor that draws visitors from across the Triangle. The Halle Cultural Arts Center, Salem Street Pub, and a growing cluster of chef-driven restaurants create a walkable commercial experience unusual for a city Apex's size. Beyond downtown, the US-64 and NC-55 corridors serve the expanding suburban population with national retail, medical office, and professional services. The Beaver Creek Commons and Apex Peakway commercial areas anchor the city's modern retail infrastructure.

Apex's buyer pool mirrors its demographics: affluent, educated, and growth-oriented. Triangle-area investors, 1031 exchange buyers from pricier Cary and Raleigh submarkets, and national investors attracted by the population growth metrics compete for well-positioned properties. Cap rates are among the tightest in the Triangle outside of Cary, reflecting the demographic premium and growth trajectory. For sellers, Apex properties should be marketed as Triangle growth assets with Cary-adjacent demographics — a positioning that attracts the most aggressive buyer interest.

What's Selling

Top Property Types in Apex

01

Retail & Restaurant

Apex's affluent, family-heavy demographics drive premium retail performance along US-64, NC-55, and the Beaver Creek Commons area. Grocery-anchored centers with Harris Teeter, Publix, or Wegmans nearby are extremely liquid investments. Downtown Salem Street's restaurants and boutiques generate rents well above typical small-city levels, driven by destination dining traffic from across the Triangle. The city's rapid population growth ensures that retail demand will continue outpacing supply — every approved subdivision represents future customers for existing commercial properties.

02

Medical & Professional

Apex's population boom has created medical office demand that existing healthcare infrastructure struggles to meet. WakeMed, UNC Health, and Duke Health are all expanding their Apex-area footprints to serve the growing community. Physician practices, urgent care facilities, pediatric specialists, and dental offices compete for space along the US-64 medical corridor and near the Beaver Creek area. The affluent demographics support above-average utilization of specialty and elective healthcare. Multi-tenant medical buildings attract both physician-investors and Triangle-area healthcare REITs.

03

Office & Flex

Apex's proximity to Research Triangle Park creates demand for small office, flex, and professional space serving technology professionals, consultants, and remote workers. The Apex Peakway corridor and properties near the downtown core host professional firms, financial advisors, and technology startups. The work-from-home trend has generated demand for premium co-working and flex space serving Apex's large population of RTP-connected professionals who prefer working closer to home than commuting to Durham or RTP campus locations.
