How can that even be debated by or bother anyone? As the old saying goes...the truth shall set you free! Don't forget that hugely successful Stadium Game. He was the main visionary behind that. The man is a leader and knows potential.
-
Awesome!! Raleigh's becoming a fashion capital.
-
Great analogy. Look at what the Sir Walter has become today. That's exactly where the North Raleigh Hilton is headed and to some extent has already become. Question is, does that fit the new Midtown Exchange vision. I would argue it doesn't.
-
One can dream! Heck, why not a Mandarin Oriental or St. Regis...
-
I've long argued that Raleigh needs more higher end hotels. The Omni helps with that need, but we will need a five star hotel like Ritz Carlton or Four Seasons. Of course there's the Umstead in Cary, but central Raleigh needs a popular luxury chain instead of a boutique.
-
They lag far behind Hyatts and Marriotts in my opinion.
-
That Hilton has been outdated for the last 30 years. It has been remodeled multiple times already. The time has come for them to demolish that hotel and build something more consistent with where that area is headed.
-
So now the developers need to start thinking about upgrading the hotel game in that area. That North Raleigh Hilton as well as the lower end hotels/motels need to go.
-
Due to the size and scope of the Midtown Exchange development, an athletic club of that size is desperately needed at that location. Great planning on their part.

Drove by the Birney Park development today and it looks fantastic. Will really add a pop to the Hayes Barton neighborhood. https://beacon-street.com/raleigh-nc-new-homes/townhomes/birney-park/

Midtown Exchange first tower looking grand this morning. Soon will be ready for occupancy. Can't wait until the second tower is built.
-
Hey Gman. I'm spending the night in your city. Haven't been to G'ville in years, but i'm really impressed with the downtown. It comes off as a much larger urban city.
-
This is probably the main reason why this area has not be overly developed up to this point. I'm sure that some developers would be very eager to snap up that land to put up more cheaply built apartments. Seems that the city and some prominent local developers always had their eyes set on some sort of professional sports arena or stadium to occupy that land.
-
I'm thinking the same thing. This development does appear out of place now, but i'm sure with 4-5 years more of developing along the southern gateway, this area will be impressive when entering downtown.
-
Stopped by today and took some quick photos. The Weld is rising...
-
I would love to drive down 440 and see the Siemens logo on a building in the NHID. Talk about raising Midtown's profile. We need more large international conglomerates in this area and Siemens is perfect.
-
I had a chance to speak to the GM of the tour, and he told me that Balmain was very interested in being a part of this popup tour in Raleigh. They really wanted into this market. He also said that a few more brands would be soon added. If feels like a high end retail corridor with big luxury brands are definitely wanted in this area.
-
Was driving by the Popup shops at North Hills this evening and couldn't help but stop by to check it out. Very nicely done! Being the lover of French high end luxury brands as I am, I couldn't help but spend some major $$$ in Balmain, but it was worth it. There's also a Tiffany & Co. there.
-
A lost opportunity was that new tower in NHID. When you're heading east on 440 it's clearly visibly directly in front of you. Putting something better designed and more iconic in that spot would have been a winner.
-
I'm so ready for that flight! On another note, passenger traffic out of RDU has exploded. During high peak hours the Pre-check lane is ridiculously long. Worse than most other airports that I travel through, and I travel extensively. The airport authority needs to seriously consider how to expand that airport this go around to adequately support growth for the next 40-50 years instead of continually kicking the can down the road.
-
My takeaway is that this tour will be used as a test for the market. If proven successful in North Hills with a clear demand for high end luxury shopping demonstrated, I can foresee a "Shops at North Hills" popping up in the future. I'm also very bullish on this.

Triangle in the national media

Raleigh's Heights House hotel is named one of the best hotels in North America. https://www.fodors.com/worlds-best/hotels/north-america -
I like Raleigh Kings better... I always thought that spot would be perfect for a ball park. Let's hope it eventually comes to fruition.
-
Same here. I received the official notification in the mail today from the city, so there's no turning back now.

This project has been quiet for a while but a groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for October 24, 2023 at 8:00am.
