Two Wake County businesses are making very specific bets about who's moving to our area. A Cary development company is building 25 luxury homes starting at nearly $1 million, each with standard EV chargers, specifically targeting California tech workers relocating to Research Triangle Park. Meanwhile, an AI-powered school called Alpha Raleigh opens this fall where kindergarteners work with robot tutors and sixth graders manage Airbnb properties.
Host Steve explores how Legacy Carolina Development's Guarang "Greg" Gala is "bullish on RTP" and confident enough to build houses that basically profile their buyers: California transplant + tech job + Tesla owner = perfect customer. At the same time, Alpha Schools is betting the same demographic wants their kids taught by artificial intelligence rather than traditional teachers.
From Wake Forest, North Carolina, Steve brings you these overlooked local stories that reveal how different industries are reading the same trend about Wake County's future - and making million-dollar investments based on very specific assumptions about who's moving here and what they want.
Real stories. Real conversations. Worth knowing.
