Since 1995, Empire Properties has been preserving – and revitalizing – the classic architecture of downtown Raleigh. Because there simply is no substitute for the character and charm of an old building. For the staccato tap of rain on a tin roof. For fresh air and sunshine through open windows. For the peace of a private courtyard.

Yet the buildings are as contemporary as they are classic. Whether a traditional business, restaurant or fitness center, each has been restored by Empire Properties to a state-of-the-art environment while meeting the specifications and budgets of each client.

It is an inspired fusion. The energy of downtown. The living history of classic architecture. The capabilities of modern technology.
