Raleigh's new Union Station opens April 30th. It will now service increased daily trains between Raleigh, Greensboro, and Charlotte (and further Amtrak service to DC, Atlanta, etc.).
It will also be service by commuter rail in the future as part of the Raleigh-Durham commuter line that will be funded by the transit tax that passed a while back. https://i.imgur.com/UyGX7zh.png?1 https://i.imgur.com/iP1XwPK.png?1 https://i.imgur.com/gRssGlB.png Source |

Groundbreaking today for 22-floor FNB Tower
https://i.imgur.com/OngVWCu.png This is now the tallest under-construction tower in Raleigh. Seven floors of office space, 239 residential units and a terrace with a pool. Construction is expected to be completed in 2019. The foundation is already in place so the tower should rise fairly quickly. Source |
This great aerial shows the site of Kane's smokey hollow development. It will be 12 floor residential with a ground floor Publix grocery store. it will be very transformative to this area of downtown and will serve as a catalyst for more development here. Also, you can see the construction of the new bridge and interchange where Capital Blvs crosses Peace street.

Tower crane is up for 22-floor FNB tower with office, residential, and ground floor retail.

Initiald,
Do you have any more updates on the development of One Glenwood and the FNB tower? Im excited to see the continued growth in the area. Keep up the good work! I enjoy it! |

North Hills (Midtown) development:
"Construction is expected to begin on the 33-story Walter Tower later this year, while Tower 4, a 20-story office tower, is already coming out of the ground. Tower 4 will add 325,000 square feet of office space to North Hills, Kane said in an interview." Source https://i.imgur.com/5DzCa3i.jpg https://i.imgur.com/SwGRIsZ.jpg |
^^^I'd much rather see that stuff built downtown than in the more suburban North Hills.

Word is a new 20 story tower has been proposed at the old police station near Nash Square. This would consolidate government offices in the city and lower maintenance costs. Source -> https://www.bizjournals.com/triangle...source=twitter

The site has a squat little 3 floor parking deck which could be torn down and replaced with maybe 7 levels of parking with a tower on top like the recently completed The Dillon. It would also be good for the surrounding street scape to get something developed here that is more pedestrian friendly. It's just sort of a blank wall. Here's an update on the FNB Tower thanks to Leo Suarez at DTRaleigh: https://dtraleigh.com/images/charter...ersquare16.jpg |
Time for a Raleigh update:
FNB tower, 22 floors https://i.imgur.com/79pl2MO.jpg?1 Still has a few more floors to go I think. https://i.imgur.com/Uwb42Zc.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/JBHrcK9.jpg?1 One Glenwood Topped out. The building to the left, wrapping the project parking deck, is a hotel called Origin. https://i.imgur.com/QHC9loO.png https://i.imgur.com/2z0UuxR.png https://i.imgur.com/MHML69E.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/8Xm2GNG.jpg?1 Here is what the Origin hotel will look like when completed: https://i.imgur.com/A75Q7Wa.png When they finish up they will likely start on phase 2, which will be called Two Hillsborough and will also be 10 floors. https://i.imgur.com/ePqdjh2.jpg Smokey Hollow (Peace and West) https://i.imgur.com/LVUijZE.png Maybe one more floor to go? https://i.imgur.com/ooov4oH.jpg?1 This is phase one of three phases. Here is phase 2: https://i.imgur.com/bzqumxF.jpg https://i.imgur.com/BtZTHxR.jpg The layout of phase one plus where phase 2 and 3 will be located. There has been talk of phase 3 being as high as 40 floor but I'm not sure that will happen. I think 20 is more realistic. https://i.imgur.com/fbc0Iun.png The Metropolitan. This project burned down while under construction in the huge fire which was 2 years ago come March. It's now been rebuilt. https://i.imgur.com/xiJEFgl.jpg?1 North Hills Tower 4 Actually a connected 33 floor residential and 20 floor office. I *think* they are both being built, but I know the 20 floor office building has a tenant and for sure is going up now. Foundation work is complete and they are on about the first floor right now. https://i.imgur.com/LGIlyAy.png |
In my previous post yesterday I gave a rundown of major under construction projects in Raleigh. Here are active proposals that could start this year. I've omitted phase 2/3 proposals for already under-construction projects as I mention them above.
301 Hillsborough - 20 floors. The most likely candidate to become the next 20+ floor tower to start construction. The tl;dr is this site had a proposal but ended up getting sold to a new developer who is confident enough to build on spec, so there's no waiting around until an anchor tenant signs on. Here is the new rendering: https://i.imgur.com/cmVSzhm.jpg This would be the first phase of a development that would take up nearly the whole block and would be office with ground floor retail. There haven't been updated renderings of phase 2 and 3 which would be a hotel and residential, but they would likely be in the 10 to maybe 15 floor range. Here are some older renderings of those: https://i.imgur.com/QfCXz6d.jpg Nash Square hotel - 9 floors Currently unbranded. Would be across the street from Nash Square park. https://i.imgur.com/nw9JTtg.jpg?1 Another Kane project, 20 floors https://i.imgur.com/0CeZQIe.jpg This will likely happen, it just takes a while with assembling the land and such. Likely to be between 15 up to 20 floors of office on top of a parking deck, with 6 or so floor residential all around it. This will be near the old train station site, and will likely be a lot like The Dillon (if you want to go back a look a pics of it). Those, along with the phase 2's of the previous post, are what I would rank as "very likely" to happen this year. Now come the "well maybe?" list of projects that could happen if partners, tenants, funding, etc. line up. Probably one or more will happen this year, unlikely all will happen. RUS bus, 20 floors Phase 2 of the union station project, this is a tower and bus station in an old warehouse beside The Dillon and Union Station. GoTriangle transit service owns the lot/warehouse and is looking for a development partner. https://i.imgur.com/sDoW8ZC.jpg?1 This shows what the massing could look like, located beside the recently completed The Dillion. The other Kane project I just mentioned above will be where the dirt patch is in the bottom left. https://i.imgur.com/V0NG2qq.jpg?1 400 Hillsborough - 20 floors Residential on top of office space. The developer owns all the land but this is starting to approach "stale proposal" territory. 50/50 odds anything happens here this year. https://i.imgur.com/lCNNvcM.jpg https://i.imgur.com/gpR9IhJ.jpg Two 10 floor hotels Yeah, MAYBE one of these will get off the ground this year. The first would be where the old Enterprise car lot was on the NE corner of Cabarrus and McDowell. The second would be on the old Firestone lot on the NE corner of Davie and Dawson. https://i.imgur.com/2PRbBnD.jpg https://i.imgur.com/bYwabhX.jpg The stale proposal or "I'll believe it when I see it" category: The Edison, 20+ floors. (The lot is ready to go, they just need a to pre-lease enough to get funding I think. Charter Square North landed FNB as their anchor tenant - see previous post for that tower - so they were able to start before the Edison site). New Raleigh city hall, 10+ floors. (I don't see enough political will to do this project for new city offices this year). Exploris, 10+ floors. (Stale until they get an anchor tenant). Old New & Observer site: 30+ floors. (This is a prime site downtown, and something will come together here eventually, and likely at least 1 tower will be 30+ floors but I don't see it happening this year). You can look back through the thread for pics of those, but there's not really any new news on them. |
Thanks for the updates! I've been waiting on these for some time! appreciate the work you do sir!

Durham rundown 2019
I only get to Durham, Raleigh's 21-mile-away neighbor to the northwest, a couple times a month so I might be missing some things. Now that One City Center, Durham's new tallest, is complete the current tallest under construction are Van Allen (left, residential) and 555 Mangum (right, office). Van Allen & 555 Mangum https://i.imgur.com/lgQdVL3.jpg This photo, with the new Bullhouse apartments in the foreground, show Van Allan topped out and to the left of it, 55 Mangum. This photo is from last year and now 555 is about half way up or more. https://i.imgur.com/Ed8hWHl.jpg Construction cam only goes through November 1st, so 555 Mangum in the background, right, is now about half way up. https://i.imgur.com/xsFd5Wg.png Durham Innovation District The first of several buildings completed. https://i.imgur.com/QNFXbhx.png https://i.imgur.com/QPtffqB.png https://i.imgur.com/S1GMC2d.png Source/info Durham County Administration Building Complete renovation and new exterior for existing administration building. https://i.imgur.com/aIQNmn9.jpg Foster On the Park Overlooking the farmers market, adjacent to the Durham Innovation District in the map above. https://i.imgur.com/8WzyCcD.jpg Five Points Center 12 floors with residential, retail and maybe office space. Toss up whether it breaks ground this year or not. http://www.austinlawrencepartners.co...-Points-1.jpeg Mangum Flats Condos. Completed. https://i.imgur.com/hJrLOMG.jpg Broadstone https://i.imgur.com/V7Arys9.png Construction underway at site of an old hotel building that was torn down. There are several apartment projects like this, I'm sure I'm forgetting some. Liberty Warehouse is another that was completed recently, and I already mentioned Bullhouse above. I'm sure I'm missing some others so this is not an exhaustive list. Here's another skyline shot from this winter from the Hearld-Sun. You can see 555 Mangum starting to go up in the center, beside the topped-out Van Allen. On the very far left you can see Broadstone under construction. https://i.imgur.com/hrGHcaA.png |
The Nexus, Phase 1 - 15 floors
When doing my Raleigh rundown this week I said development was unlikely to happen at the old New & Observer site this year, but just now The Acquisition Group announced plans for Phase 1 of the site, which is supposed to be completed by 2021. This portion of the project will be a 15 floor office tower. Phases 2 and 3 on the site, overlooking Nash Square, will be hotel and residential and hopefully 20+ floors. https://i.imgur.com/XGTDNRR.jpg Source Also, forgotten in my Raleigh rundown was The Fairweather, a condo project which broke ground this month: https://i.imgur.com/PBgQXJB.jpg Source |
