RALEIGH_DURHAM | Projects & Development
This thread will contain updates of development news for the Triangle area of NC. I also regularly update the Charlotte construction thread located here.
Raleigh: 23 floor Skyhouse apartments This will be the same design as the Skyhouse apartments under construction in Atlanta and planned for several other cities too. http://aboveatlanta.com/images/skyho...n-building.jpg http://atlantadev.com/wp-content/upl...0-07-41-PM.jpg This rendering shows the location of Skyhouse in downtown Raleigh, directly across from Moore Square park: http://dtraleigh.com/images/edison/edisonBlock.jpg Source The Edison In the last rendering above you see a greenish building to the left of Skyhouse. That will be the site of The Edison office building. Plans have come and gone but the latest rendering is this: http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/3...eigh411360.jpg Source This 13 floor building would bring 225,000 sq. ft. of office space to downtown. In addition, there is residential phase that is part of the Edison too: http://dtraleigh.com/images/edison/edisonrender1.jpg Source Charter Square The Charter Square site had completed site prep and I believe foundations had been poured before work halted due to the recession. Now they are ready to proceed with completing an 11 floor building: http://media2.newsobserver.com/smedi....AuSt.156.jpeg Source This is a photo I took Dec. 2006 of the site (on the right) with a crane still in place before work was halted: http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3088/3...a63d57f3_o.jpg This building would also add 225,000 sq. ft. of office space downtown. The market is probably there for 225,000 but not 450,000. Most likely we could see either The Edison or Charter Square begin going up this year but maybe not both. I think we will see a bit of competition to see who can sign tenants before the shovels move. We'll see. New 11 floor convention center hotel Raleigh has been bidding for a new hotel adjacent to the convention center to be built on a empty city-owned lot. The proposal is for an 11 story hotel currently branded as a Residence Inn: http://assets.bizjournals.com/triang...ence%20Inn.jpg Source Union Station Headed to design phase is Raleigh's Union Station. To be located near the current Amtrak station, Union station will be the central stop for Raleigh's proposed commuter rail and light rail lines. http://camraleigh.org/wp-content/upl...n_drawing1.jpg Source Clarion Hotel renovations The Clarion hotel has been bought and renovations are planned by the new owners who will re-brand the hotel as a Holiday Inn. It was originally a Holiday Inn when it was first built. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7197/7...8366a025_c.jpg Photo by me. 227 Fayetteville renovations This building is having major renovations done. How it looked this past year (the building in the foreground) http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7103/7...a5469820_c.jpg Photo by me. How it will look after renovations: http://dtraleigh.com/images/227/227render1.jpg Source I'll add more to this list later. |
Durham updates:
11 floor Justice Center This new building opened a couple of months ago. http://media2.newsobserver.com/smedi....AuSt.156.jpeg Source Possible 26 floor tower http://media2.newsobserver.com/smedi....AuSt.156.jpeg Source There are plans for a 26 floor, 424,000 sq. foot mixed-use tower with retail, office and condos planned for the old Woolworth site, which was purchased by developers last Nov. Details Capital Broadcasting building The latest development around the Durham Bulls ballpark and the Durham Performing Arts Center. Located on the far left of this image I took: http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2824/8...f4e86a67_b.jpg View of the building on the right side of this image I took: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7317/8...c3e64f5e_b.jpg Details 5 floor urban housing http://media2.newsobserver.com/smedi....AuSt.156.jpeg Source Details Durham-Chapel Hill light rail Plans are moving forward on light rail but the process is slow - groundbreaking won't happen until 2020. The route is still being studied. Current map: http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/5760/lightrail.png Source Details |
Up date on Durham's 26 floor City Center building
The following images are from the proposal approved by the Durham City-County Planning Department and Durham Historic Preservation Commission which can be found here. http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/3734/88341395.jpg http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/5651/15899341.jpg http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/9651/87211527.jpg http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/9759/88175304.jpg http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/9878/30901701.jpg http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/9959/72378913.jpg Construction is not expected to being before 2014. Also, and interesting tidbit - Durham has a downtown height limit of 300 feet. |
New rendering of The L building. This will be a mixed-use building (in an "L" shape) around an existing parking deck. It is located on the SW corner of W Davie St at S McDowell St in Raleigh.
"This mixed-use project will consist of 93 studio, 1, and 2 bedroom apartments and 8,000 square feet of office space above 10,000 square feet of ground floor retail. Ground breaking is planned for this Fall with a project completion around Fall 2014." https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BME8_6mCYAMqqIY.png:large Source |

Thanks for the continued updates, initiald!
Way overdue for a trip up there to see what would probably blow me away since my last visit... I used to live on the hill above Crabtree off of Edwards Mill, but haven't been back in years. I feel like I need to be at a Moral Monday event, actually. ;) |
Quote:
Crabtree is started to feel like a dated area. The new hot place is North Hills at I-440 and Six Forks. It is becoming like a smaller version of Atlanta's Atlantic Station. |
New signage atop the Red Hat Headquarters. After the merger between Duke Energy and Progress Energy, Red Hat occupied the former home of Progress Energy.
http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3716/9...b0407483_b.jpg Source Here's a photo I took of what it looked like as they were taking the signage off last year: http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5196/7...3b1e6c2b_z.jpg |
Crank Arm Brewery opens in downtown Raleigh
http://dtraleigh.com/images/beercon/crankarm2.jpg Source Crank Arm is the 8th brewery to open in Raleigh, and the 3rd to open in Raleigh this year. The Triangle metro now has 22 breweries open with a handful more under construction and set to open this year. Quote:

I love the proposed building in Durham. It should look great on the skyline.
I thought Wake Forest University's 8-storey hotel and conference center (on the south end of Winston-Salem's downtown, away from their campus?) was the only university owned hotel in the state. Why do universities own hotels? It seems as if they would partner with a hotel near their campus for any hotel needs, rather than trying to operate their own. It's good to see a thread for updates in the capitol! |

Aloft Hotel
This hotel will be on Hillsborough Street across from NC State's bell tower. I mentioned it previously when it was just refered to as "Bell View Hotel." It looks, from my understanding, that the university may own the property but Aloft will run it.

This sideways snapshot shows that site prep is beginning on Skyhouse Raleigh! Now we can have a generic midrise residential too! |
Rendering showing the location in the skyline of the under-construction Skyhouse apartments. The Raleigh skyline is very linear, running north and south. This will extend the skyline a little to the west:

I took some new photos of the Citrix headquarters construction in downtown Raleigh:
