Introducing the Copper District
A first of its kind mixed use development with small town charm supercharged with 21st century amenities.
The newest development of Craig Davis Properties, Inc is a transformative community just outside of downtown Clayton, North Carolina – representing a new economy with a bustling heart and an organic blend of commerce and nature.
“I think Clayton is a town with heart, and I think you feel that the minute you meet the first person on the street.”
An Unmatched Crossroads
Conveniently placed at the crossroads of the new I-40/I-540/Future I-42 connector and minutes from downtown Clayton, NC, the Copper District capitalizes upon vital connections to the nation’s second fastest growing large metro – and entry into one of the top ten fastest mid-sized growing counties in the US.
Step through the Triangle’s new front door.
Stretching out over hundreds of acres of picturesque woodlands and meadows historically known as the Penny Farm, the Copper District is cultivating an unmatched lifestyle destination for Raleigh, North Carolina, and beyond, connecting historic Clayton to the future through innovative, curated, and dynamic spaces. The Copper District includes offices, shopping, dining, and a rich variety of housing options, making a home for residents in every phase of life and cultivating a robust sense of community.
Welcome to a place where agricultural roots and natural landscapes are celebrated by tight-knit communities in an amenity-rich district.
The Copper District is a one-of-a-kind setting that brings together small-town charm with walkable, 21st Century amenities. The surrounding communities of Clayton, the agricultural history of Penny Farm, the natural beauty of the rolling landscape, and the Copper District’s focus on wellbeing are effortlessly woven together into a walkable, mixed-use area whose modern amenities go hand-in-hand with small-town living.
