Raleigh Convention Center Expansion to Break Ground

The Raleigh Convention Center has announced two additional partnerships to complete the team working on the expansion project. Clancy & Theys, Skanska, D.A. Everett Joint Venture is acting as construction manager joins international architecture firm TVS and local partner Ratio Design is designing and building the project. In addition, the team of Cumming Group and their MWBE partner Cate Services will act as the owner’s representative.

The Raleigh Convention Center’s footprint will grow by another city block, with sister venue Red Hat Amphitheater shifting slightly southward and an installation of pedestrian bridges spanning S. McDowell St. The Raleigh Convention Center expansion is slated to add 80,000 square feet of flexible space and 30 additional breakout rooms. Furthermore, Omni Hotels & Resorts is set to open a 550-room hotel nearby in 2027, enhancing the support for Raleigh Convention Center visitors.

Red Hat Amphitheater’s move is expected to be complete in 2026; the Raleigh Convention Center expansion should be concluded in 2028.
