Life Time Raleigh at The Exchange is an ambitious mixed-use project that aims to redefine luxury urban living in Raleigh. Scheduled to open in 2028, this development brings together a full-scale Life Time Athletic Resort with high-end Life Time Living Residences, offering an integrated lifestyle experience that goes beyond conventional apartment living.
This 80,000 square-foot athletic resort spans three levels, making it one of the largest and most sophisticated fitness facilities in North Carolina. Life Time Raleigh features an expansive amenity deck housing two pools, cabanas, pickleball courts, and a bistro designed to be a social haven for afternoon relaxation and cocktails. Each level of the club is crafted to meet diverse wellness needs, with premium cardio and strength-training equipment, specialized group fitness rooms for classes like yoga and Pilates, and a dedicated stretching and recovery area.
Above the athletic resort, the Life Time Living Residences feature 289 luxurious apartments, from spacious studios to exclusive penthouses. These residences include amenities like rain showers, floating vanities, gas ranges, built-in drop zones, and integrated workstations. The penthouses, situated on the uppermost floors, enjoy breathtaking park views and exclusive access to an indoor/outdoor sky lounge, which features a sunset cocktail space, intimate balcony seating, and an inviting, transparent fireplace.

Recognizing the growing need for adaptable spaces in today’s remote work era, Life Time Raleigh incorporates modern coworking lounges that seamlessly connect with social spaces. On-site child care and a Life Time Café, serving healthy meals from breakfast through dinner, create a community where work, family, and recreation can harmonize. Residents can start their day with a workout, grab a fresh smoothie, and transition to productive work time—all without stepping outside the building.
This attention to convenience extends to the design of the 700-space parking deck, thoughtfully integrated to ensure accessibility for both residents and club members. This level of service anticipates the expectations of a discerning urban clientele.
Life Time Raleigh’s architecture and spatial organization are carefully crafted to elevate everyday living. The project’s stacking plan is tailored to provide a seamless experience: the public café and concierge services are conveniently located on the ground floor, residential amenities like the clubroom and rooftop terrace occupy the fourth floor, and luxury residences span levels five through eighteen. This organization culminates in the top-floor penthouses, complemented by the sky lounge, creating an urban sanctuary that unites functional design with a warm, vibrant community spirit.

"Life Time Living at The Exchange represents an exciting opportunity to rethink what luxury urban living can be. Our vision goes far beyond creating a striking addition to the skyline. By bringing together bold architectural expression, thoughtful design, and a lifestyle centered on wellness and community, we envision something truly special for Life Time's Living brand. For us, this project is about more than creating a landmark; it’s about shaping an experience that people will be proud to call home."
