Cool, thanks. Living up here now has me caring a lot more how it goes. There are two major clumps of development along 15-501 within Chapel Hill in this area, roughly defined as south of the Franklin St interchange and north of it. So far none of it is walkable...its all car dependent density though somewhat slightly high end. The souther part (Eastgate area) is essentially cemented as car dependent though Franklin St is nice-is along this part and I have walked some errands around there. The northern part is a blank canvas though, starting with the Wegmans. I sure hope the physical connections end up being made and don't end up like Durham's stretch of 15-501 which is somehow worse than Capital Blvd.

Longfellow is moving forward with their life sciences office tower in downtown Chapel Hill.

""A life sciences development that would add to the remaking of downtown Chapel Hill is moving forward.

The Chapel Hill Town Council on Wednesday approved the rezoning for Longfellow Real Estate Partners’ 8-story lab, office and retail building at 306 W. Franklin St.

The building will be about 350,000 square feet — 30,000 more than originally planned — with 8,000 to 12,000 square feet for ground-floor retail space. Longfellow Managing Director Greg Capps said it will be about the same retail space as what is currently on the site with room for 2-4 businesses.  

Originally the development was going to be a 9-story building with about 320,000 square feet of space and a 5-story parking deck. After receiving feedback from residents and the council about wanting to see more outdoor spaces and connectivity, Longfellow moved the parking underground and added another green space along Rosemary Street.

Now that the parking deck is underground, the project will be a single, L-shaped building.""
