Phase Zero Design Expands to North Carolina
Cary, NC – Phase Zero Design announced it is expanding with the addition of an office in Cary, a suburb of Raleigh.
Phase Zero Design currently has two offices located in Hingham, Mass. and Simsbury, Conn. This third office, located at 128 Towerview Court in Cary, officially opens for business on Sept. 6.
With experience and repeat business across six market sectors – hospitality, healthcare, workplace, retail, academic, and residential – Phase Zero Design is prepared to expand the breadth of business it does throughout the Southeast. Bolstered by a number of successful projects in both North Carolina 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.
“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.”
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 10 employees sourced directly from the Raleigh market and surrounding areas over the coming months.
“We are excited to offer our firm’s wide range of experience as an asset to the Triangle’s commercial real estate community,” added Wittmer. “We look forward to becoming a well-integrated member of the Triangle’s business landscape.”
Phase Zero Design is the architecture and interior design partner for the recently opened Research Triangle Park eatery, Glasshouse Kitchen.
