Midland Developer Seeks Rezoning for Andrews Highway Office Park

RASI Ventures requests zoning change for new RASI Plaza project as NC Sturgeon plans to build new office space

Published on Feb. 22, 2026

RASI Ventures, a Midland-based real estate development company, is seeking to rezone two lots along Andrews Highway in order to build a new office park called RASI Plaza. The rezoning request will be considered by the city council as NC Sturgeon, another local business, also plans to construct a new office building in the area.

Why it matters

The proposed RASI Plaza project and NC Sturgeon's new office building are part of ongoing commercial development and redevelopment efforts along the Andrews Highway corridor in Midland. These projects could bring additional office space and economic activity to the area, but may also raise concerns about traffic, parking, and the overall character of the neighborhood.

The details

RASI Ventures is requesting that the city rezone two lots along Andrews Highway from their current zoning to Office District in order to build the new RASI Plaza office park. Meanwhile, NC Sturgeon, an engineering and construction firm, plans to construct a new office building in the same general area. The city council will consider RASI's rezoning request as part of their review of these proposed developments.

  • RASI Ventures submitted its rezoning request in February 2026.
  • The Midland City Council is scheduled to consider the rezoning request at its next meeting on March 5, 2026.
