Lennar buys 94 acres in east Raleigh for new housing development
Story Highlights Lennar Carolinas acquired 94 acres in east Raleigh for $19.4 million.
The property is entitled for 257 single-family lots and 200 townhomes.
East Raleigh attracts residential development due to available land and affordability.
Nearly 100 acres in east Raleigh has been sold as plans form for hundreds of new homes.
Lennar Carolinas, via a land bank, acquired 94 acres on Old Milburnie Road next to the Neuse River — on the other side of the river is the Hedingham Golf Club. The homebuilder spent $19.4 million on the land, according to Wake County deed records. The property is already entitled for 257 single-family lots.
The purchase price comes to about $206,404 per acre. The seller was Darlington Advisors LLC, owned by Carlton Midyette. His son, Carlton Midyette III, represented the seller in the transaction.
Midyette III said the former owner had the site rezoned to residential 6 to take advantage of the city's Missing Middle zoning rules. An approved site plan includes the entitlement for single-family homes and a future plan to add about 200 townhomes.
Darlington Advisors has been working with Miami-based Lennar (NYSE: LEN) to close the deal. Originally, a different homebuilder was under contract to buy the land but dropped out a year ago.
Situated at 1539 Old Milburnie Road, it's Lennar's second residential community on Old Milburnie Road. It's planning to build about 500 single-family homes and townhomes on 242 acres. Lennar is the largest homebuilder in the Triangle, completing 2,865 homes in 2024 and closing $1.165 billion worth of contracts.
The east and northeast parts of Raleigh and Wake County are drawing lots of residential development as there is more room for new neighborhoods and prices can stay on the lower side.
'Residential housing growth is — it's all about going east. To the north, you're starting to get capped. You're capped with utility capacity. The south is getting expensive. You're not going west unless you go all the way to Chatham. But as you move east, you're going to move through a lot of developable land. … and the extension of Interstate 540 is going to open that up even more,' Midyette III said.

Kirby McInerney LLP is Investigating Potential Shareholder Claims Against Sable Offshore Corp. (SOC)
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP reminds investors that the firm is investigating potential claims against Sable Offshore Corp. ('Sable' or the 'Company') (NYSE:SOC). The investigation concerns whether Sable and/or certain of its officers have violated the federal securities laws and/or engaged in other unlawful business practices. [Click here to learn more about the investigation] On May 19, 2025, Sable announced that it had resumed oil production from one of three offshore platforms related to its Las Flores pipeline (the 'Onshore Pipeline') in California as of May 15, 2025. On May 21, 2025, Sable announced the pricing of its previously announced underwritten public offering of 8,695,654 shares of its common stock, by the Company at a price to the public of $29.50 per share (the 'Public Offering'). The Company subsequently announced the closing of the Public Offering on May 23, 2025, with gross proceeds of approximately $295 million. On May 23, 2025, the California State Land Commission sent Sable a letter warning the Company that, 'The [May 19] press release appears to mischaracterize the nature of recent activities, causing significant public confusion and raising questions regarding Sable's intentions.' According to the letter, Sable had conflated offshore well testing activities required by a federal regulatory agency with the restart of operations. Then, on May 28, 2025, the Santa Barbara County Superior Court approved a preliminary injunction requested by the California Coastal Commission regarding Sable's maintenance and repair work in the coastal zone related to its Onshore Pipeline. On this news, the price of Sable declined by $5.04 per share, or approximately 15%, from $32.93 per share on May 27, 2025, to close at $27.89 on May 28, 2025.

Loving Giving Local: Rhoxon Productions
Movie enthusiasts will benefit from this week's Loving Giving Local donation. A local movie production company that sponsors a film festival is this week's recipient. Rhoxon Productions got a financial gift from Auto Express Resale Center. Rhoxon is an Erie-based non-profit independent film company that creates organic stories that promote a positive change. Besides creating art, Rhoxon strives to create jobs and educational opportunities in the film industry. 'Our last few projects have been about healing and about coping, and our next two are about revamping the social justice system,' said Katie Nixon, RhoxonProductions co-founder. 'That's sort of our creative endeavors, and we also create educational opportunities for people to learn how to do this professionally.' Nixon says Rhoxon has a vision of creating 50 new jobs in the film industry here. And she insists you no longer have to be on the East or West Coast to have a film career. 'No, the landscape has changed so much. Even Netflix has created their new studio out in Jersey. It's not just that you have be in New York or LA,' she explained. 'Erie is kinda a really interesting place. You have beach, you have woods, you have city, you have country all within 15 minutes of each other.' That landscape diversity, Nixon said, makes Northwest Pennsylvania the perfect place for shooting movies. This week's Loving Giving Local donation will help support an upcoming film festival. Nixon said, 'We started the only multi-genre film festival here in Erie. It's the Lake Effect Film Festival, which will be in September. So that money will go to help make that event possible.' After making his check presentation, Joe Askins of Auto Express Resale Center said, 'We're pretty fortunate to have Rhoxon in our community and they're already doing great things. So for us to be able to deliver loving giving local and to learn the donation we bring is going toward their film festival, that's what Loving Giving Local is all about,' Askins said.
