Nice, any other information available? Height, number of units, retail, office square footage, time frame?

I like it.

Yes, I know they're still working on the deck. Sorry for the confusion, I should have been more clear in my original post.

Very true. I'm sure it will match closely to the renderings when completed and I do think this building matches very close to what is depicted. I'm just stating that renderings tend to exaggerate things such as lighting, angles, color, depth, texture, etc. I understand why developers do it but sometimes it leaves the final product not quite meeting expectations.

Good comparison between real life and the rendering. Goes to show how much developers embellish their renderings as well. All in all I think this is turning out great, just hope the screening on the parking deck meets expectations.

What's this supposed to be?

I believe that is where the 30+ story apartment building is going. Pages from 2021_163_siteplan.pdf

No. PNC Plaza is the tallest at 538 feet. This one will be 414 feet making it the 3rd tallest in downtown Raleigh.

I don't think CATS's laid off or furloughed anyone.

As always thank you for stopping my @KJHburg

Always love you pictures on here @Mgelbach , please keep up the good work.

A lot of city services have been effected because of Covid and these projects and simple maintenances that you speak of are the first to go during rough times. I think I can speak for most of you on here when I say that this past year has not been the greatest. Think about the challenges we have all faced this past year because of Covid and the things we have had to cut back on, think about how your own job and life has changed and how different and/or difficult some things have become. Yes, there are a lot of things the City can do better on but their staff and resources are stretched thin so I can forgive them if it takes longer to get lots mowed or trash/litter picked up.

Do you mean White Point? The renderings @j-man posted are the proposal for the CTC Station redevelopment. There's a thread it if you go back to page 6 but I haven't heard any news from them in a while.

This is what I see, it's an add that takes up the whole screen with no "x" or "exit" option.

I wonder if they'll eventually add a second tower to the right of the proposed office tower as originally proposed? Two tower proposal below

I was surprised that you could see one of the cranes from 85 when driving north around the Harris Blvd exit.

Here are the highlights 385-400 apartments wrapped around structured parking where surface parking lot is located, include ground floor retail. 150,000 sf office building also with structured parking facing Central Ave built where portion of strip center is located, include ground floor retail, office will be spec. "main street" connecting Pecan to Central, very activated, centerpiece of development with urban parks and 37,000 sf of retail space. Older buildings dating back to 1912 will be saved as well as part of the strip center to be renovated to fit in with the new development. Preservation of these two older buildings is contingent on rezoning petition filled earlier this year to allow TOD on two acers, the rezoning will allow for a denser phase two of the development. The proposed Lynx Silver Line will run by the site with the possibility of having a transit stop. Start date in late spring or early summer depending on permitting and other processes.

I believe that is temporary for construction. It should be converted back into a courtyard of some sorts anytime now.

Yes, there will be windows. If you look at earlier pictures you can see where the windows are. They'll cut the housewrap where the windows are later, it's just easier to wrap the whole wall first.

Not going to lie, I'm pretty excited about this. I went to Bucee's when I was in Austin last month and was amazed. Actually terrified and amazed lol.

Correct, it's going to be along South Railroad Street between East 3rd and 4th avenue. The buildings in that location burnt down a few years ago, we only planned to demo a 1970 addition and keep the rest but the fire destroyed everything between S Railroad Street and the tracks.

Thanks for posting. Our office has been working on this for years and we found out yesterday that we were awarded the grant. It's very exciting.

I'm sure the hotel is on hold for now given the state of things. Plus, when construction starts it's not difficult to take down the lamp post, probably take a day or two.
