AI Contract Overview
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is seeking qualified firms to provide development advisory services to support the planning, analysis, and execution of significant residential projects on the Carolina North campus, located approximately 1.5 miles from the main campus. These projects include constructing new undergraduate and graduate apartment-style residence halls, with the undergraduate building designed to house at least 500 upper-class students and the graduate building to accommodate around 1,000 graduate students, both targeted for completion by July 2029. The selected advisory firm will collaborate closely with the University’s Real Estate & Campus Enterprises team, including Carolina Housing, as well as stakeholders from Facilities, Finance, Treasury, and Administration, to explore alternative project delivery methods and ensure successful project implementation. The development efforts are driven by anticipated enrollment growth of up to 5,000 undergraduates over the next decade, expansion of academic programs, potential new athletics facilities, and the development of mixed-use commercial spaces and affordable housing for faculty, staff, and the community. The University has engaged SmithGroup to update the master plan for Carolina North, with site identification for housing expected by mid-summer 2025. The project’s scope aligns with broader campus growth and regional development strategies, aiming to enhance student housing capacity, support academic and athletic expansion, and foster vibrant mixed-use communities. The contract, valued between $500,000 and $2 million, is part of a solicitation process with a response deadline of June 11, 2025.

Full Description
To address increasing enrollment and the need to expand existing student housing stock, the University seeks to build both new graduate and undergraduate residence halls on its Carolina North campus, located approximately 1.5 miles north of the main campus. The University anticipates the undergraduate apartment-style building should accommodate at least 500 beds targeted to upper class students (juniors and seniors), while the graduate apartment-style building should accommodate approximately 1,000 graduate students. The target delivery date for both projects is July 2029.
The University is seeking an advisor to assist with the analysis and implementation of these residential projects through alternative delivery methods. The selected development advisor will engage with the Real Estate & Campus Enterprises team, including Carolina Housing, as well as various stakeholders from UNC Facilities, Finance, Treasury and the Administration throughout the entirety of the project.
The University recently engaged with the SmithGroup to update the Carolina North master plan, which will include site identification for student housing. The initial concept plan is expected to be completed by mid-summer 2025. There are several key drivers shaping the Carolina North master plan:
• Enrollment Growth: Potential enrollment growth of 5,000 undergraduate students over the next ten years will drive the need for additional student housing and campus services. • Academic Program Growth: Expanding and introducing new academic programs will necessitate not only increased space but also the potential need for dedicated facilities. • Athletics: Pending a Basketball Arena Study report’s final findings, the potential for new athletics facilities would drive growth, energy, and opportunities for development that would redefine our engagement with the region. • Commercial Mixed-Use Development: University growth will drive the need for commercially viable mixed-use development, whether constructed by UNC-CH or owned and operated by third parties through a ground lease. • Affordable and Market Housing: Development of affordable and market rate housing for faculty and staff and the broader community.
