A massive $200 million transformation is coming to Durham’s old Coca-Cola bottling plant, turning it into a vibrant hub called Westside Bottling. Picture this: over 70,000 square feet of retail, 370 apartments, and 35 townhomes—all walkable and packed with favorites like Sprouts, Shake Shack, and Ulta. Even though much of the original plant will be demolished, the developers plan to reuse pieces of the historic site in the new build. First retailers are set to open by late 2026. What do you think—will this reshape the neighborhood for the better, or is something lost when old landmarks change? #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #DurhamNC
