Projects & Construction:
I want to thank the photographers and local businesses, sharing updates on projects, who make this thread possible. Without you, these updates won't happen. I don't make any money from this and these updates are to share, with both locals and out-of-towners, what is happening in the city they love. Many people reading this are far-away and this allows them to see the projects. If you can, please support any local businesses or follow social pages sharing photographs and thank them.
Due to the hurricane/tropical storm, I wasn't able to give this as much time and effort as usual. I was concerned the storm would negatively impact the area where I live (northeast Atlanta suburbs) and it did knock-out power for a long time... internet too. However, instead of turning toward Atlanta, it curved toward the city I grew-up in (Arden, N.C.) and where my parents still reside! The metro area where I grew-up is in very bad shape. I am shaken-up from this and it's difficult to focus on the updates right now.

Whitaker Park Mixed-use Project:
The lease: Wake Forest University's Center for Nanotechnology & Molecular Materials leased 15,220-square-feet in the 630-2 Lab Building for laboratory, classroom, and office space. The lease begins January 10, 2025 and ends July 31, 2030, with three five-year renewals that could bring the lease expiration to July 31, 2045. I do wish this was downtown, in the Innovation Quarter.

Maybe this project should have its own separate entry on our construction list? Steele Group Architects is the architect for this renovation. The renovation includes cleaning the facade and staining. It also includes landscaping.
