Why Deployment 1 Starts Here

A Region Built
on Community.

Raleigh-Durham gives Diamond Derby the combination Deployment 1 needs: a growing 21–45 population, deep baseball culture, major universities, and a region already investing heavily in sports, entertainment and mixed-use destinations. Once Derby Box is proven, the Homerun Park is where Diamond Derby plans to turn that platform into a full-scale social Baseball Lite experience.

Deployment 1 Site Strategy

One Acre.
Built To Anchor
Something Bigger.

We're targeting approximately one acre for the first Homerun Park — the first full-scale Derby Box deployment and a compact footprint designed to create an outsized reason to visit.

That opens opportunities traditional sports and entertainment concepts can't touch. The Homerun Park can become the entertainment anchor inside a mixed-use district, retail center, entertainment destination, or redevelopment without requiring acres of fields or a massive standalone site.

Diamond Derby brings the occasion. Everything around it benefits from the traffic.

Guests come to hit home runs, then eat, drink, shop, stay, or make a night of everything around them. For developers, that means one acre can help activate a much larger destination.

The Homerun Park doesn't need to own the district. It needs to give people a reason to come to it.
