Phase Zero Design expands into North Carolina

Cary, NC Architecture and Interior Design firm, Phase Zero Design, has expadned with the addition of an office in Raleigh, NC. This third office location will officially be open for business as of September 6th, 2022. 

With experience and repeat business across six market sectors—Hospitality, Healthcare, Workplace,  Retail, Academic, and Residential—Phase Zero Design is prepared to expand throughout the Southeast.

“This decision to expand to the Research Triangle is a strategic one,” said principal Matthew Wittmer, “the region’s invigorating development aligns closely with our firm’s strategic growth plans for several market sectors including Healthcare, Hospitality, Residential, and Life Sciences.” 

“We are excited to offer our firm’s wide range of experience as an asset to the Triangle’s commercial real estate community,” Wittmer said, “we look forward to becoming a well-integrated member of  the Triangle’s business landscape." 

Bolstered by a number of successful projects in both North and South Carolina, the decision to open this office is directly correlated to the market response received by the firm over the past several years.

With one of the firm’s existing employees making the move with the firm—and another that has been working remotely in North Carolina since 2016—Phase Zero Design’s Cary office will initially be staffed by two longtime employees. This will help to support the brand’s cultural continuity as the firm anticipates the addition of eight to ten employees sourced directly from the Raleigh market and  surrounding areas over the coming months.

Long-term interest rates have fallen by 100 basis points, and the market is normalizing. In December of 2022 I wrote an article about investing in a high interest rate, high inflation market. Since then, inflation has cooled off, and the Fed has begun lowering their funds rate.
