Trendy? I guess, but reusing shipping containers ins't exactly cutting edge in 2019. Anyway, my comment was more related to the nature of the project as opposed to its construction type.
Nothing new. Even Starbucks has been making some of their stores out of shipping containers for a good 10 years. And they are cool.
Durham's boxyard will look something like the one in Tulsa: The Boxyard
If you know anything about RTP, it's not a "hipster" area. This development fits in with what the RTP folks are trying to do with their vision. Instead of people schlepping into work at RTP everyday, they want more people to live, work, and play there. Otherwise, it's just a bunch of wasted and underutilized space.

The plan is to turn RTP into a living space as well. Buy a house now within a mile of 55, 540, 64 exchange and sell it for 100% more in 2029.

Yes I'm familiar with RTP . No it's not a hipster area, and this is likely a first step in attempting to make it so to appease the folks that think everything on Earth needs to be trendy and urban in nature.
The reality is RTP is very spread out...hell it would take you 30 minutes probably just to walk across the Cisco campus. The whole "Work! Live! Play!" trend won't work there.

More places to eat is cool though.
I'm curious as to why you think that? People who work in RTP don't want to live near their job?
I work near RTP and it’s exciting to me! The lunch options are pretty minimal so it will be nice to have more. We wind up going to Cary when we go out most of the time.

Some people do, and some people would prefer to live further out in not-so-dense housing.
Isn't the whole point of "Work! Live! Play!" that you can walk to work or take some sort of reasonable public transportation?
