[Downtown Raleigh's Future]

Nothing to blow your mind but a sweet angle of the hotel and 301. Taken from the Sheraton parking deck today.

Taken from the Dillon parking deck. You can see that they have demo crews at RUSBUS. Hilton is gaining height too!

I meant to post on 9/18 when picture was taken

Add another crane to NH. The first for the WF Rd side.

New crane going up soon!

Nothing much but here is the current situation on Kindley St

^^^   Cranes up in downtown Durham!  

That doesn't seem to be the correct azimuth for DTD because the center city building is waaaay off to the right side of the frame.

Taken from RDU parking deck. The near building is IQVIA at I40 and Page Rd. What are all of those cranes in the distance?

Another beauty from Olde Raleigh.

If that original stadium that was proposed would have been built, the Archdale building would be gone by now. Anyway, I believe that it will be demolished soon enough. There seems to be  a giant bullseye on every fugly building in DTR.

Also, i've heard many in favor, and many against the Holiday Inn being torn down. It's about 50/50. I'm mainly of the belief that we should find a way to preserve it, but my biggest concern is that the building does not maximize the use of the very valuable land that it sits on. Hopefully the developer will build something that will impress us, but i'll hold my enthusiasm until I see final renderings.

It would be a nice spot to bring in a 40 story building that pays homage to the circular building. I'm thinking along the lines of the Westin in ATL.

What an eyesore. I could personally stitch a burlap bag large enough to cover this up and it would be less obscene.

Cool Facebook page and probably would interest many on this blog if you weren't already aware of it.

Edit: this is the old North Hills mall and Beltline under construction in 1962.

Raleigh Crossing now has trim lighting

Busted a few caps of the 400H site. It's definitely going to make the Hillsborough St approach into downtown a beautiful sight when it's completed. I say now that Raleigh has done it's job with the "filler" buildings. It's time to get those 40+ story buildings.

This hotel is not moving forward...however the site will be rezoned to 40 stories for potentially a better project on this site. 

Raleigh needs to stop balking at the 40 story developments. Too many parcels are being wasted on 10ish story, quick dollar developments. Wake County is quickly running out of land, and land is one thing that we can not make more of.
