Alexander Crossing

Alexander Crossing places you in the heart of Research Triangle Park (RTP), a convenient hub between Durham and Raleigh. From here, it’s easy to balance work and downtime with quick access to major employers and everyday essentials, while still being close to the entertainment and dining scenes in both Downtown Durham and Downtown Raleigh.
