CHATHAM COUNTY, N.C. — Disney is planning to open a new residential community in Chatham County.
The 1,500-acre community known as Asteria will include 4,000 single-family and multi-family homes. It includes housing aimed at people aged 55 and older.
The project is in initial stages of development with home sales set to begin by 2027.
“The announcement of the Asteria community builds upon strong initial interest for our first Storyliving by Disney community in California and will expand Disney-branded communities to the East Coast,” said Claire Bilby, senior vice president and general manager of Disney Signature Experiences Emerging Businesses. “Our team has been working closely with Disney Imagineers to develop a unique vision for this project inspired by Walt Disney’s innate curiosity and North Carolina’s spirit of discovery.”
