Hey, I really hope it makes a bigger impact than I’m thinking! I am just excited to feel like I’m driving into the city from Capital southbound rather than alongside/between in.

The base of 301 hills is roughly 35 ft. higher in elevation than the base of the Dillon, and it’s a few floors higher. I think it will make a nice dent in filling the gap between W
arehouse/Glenwood and CBD.

Absolutely! Great example pictures
You can bet I’ll have PLENTY of aerial shots as this construction progresses.

Brick building at the corner of Hillsborough and Harrington on the 301 block. I’m guessing Fallon will be using this building as offices for building out Phase 1 but it’s my understanding that building is gone for the full build out.

I saw on Tuesday they were planting some shrubs and fixing up the area. Seemed weird since the building should be gone in a couple years, but now it makes sense. Thanks!

Speaking of the Holiday Inn. Some classics. For us “old Raleigh” people, notice the “funded by Cameron Brown”.

That ‘brick building’ is the Hicks Mansion (Scroll down). It used to have a magnificent neo classical porch like the Tucker House and Godwin House (DNC HQ). Other than the porch it’s intact inside and really should be preserved. The porch could easily be rebuilt if moved to say Blount St.

Wow! So grand looking! I hope someone makes them an offer for the house and can find a place to put it.

And that building is now the First Citizens building. Keypunch operators were in the basement.
Along with the computers that were less powerful than a smart cell phone.

Basically I’m asking Pendo to sponsor a Raleigh water feature to step up to Citrix and Red Hat.

On the June 10 City Council agenda:
A-60-19 WHEREAS Fallon Company, property owner, requests a 9.5’ variance from the maximum one-way driveway width requirements and a 6’ variance from maximum two-way driveway width requirements set forth in 1.1.12. of the Unified Development Ordinance and Table 7 of the Raleigh Street Design Manual to construct a one-way driveway with a 27.5’ width and a two-way driveway with a 38’ width; a 217’ variance, a 129.75’ variance and a 138’ variance from the minimum driveway spacing requirements set forth in Section 8.3.5.C.3.C. to construct three driveways with minimum spacings of 83’, 70.25’ and 62’ respectively; a variance to the sidewalk material specifications set forth in the adopted Streetscape Plan as referenced in Section 8.5.1.F.1. in order to utilize individual pavers instead of scored concrete; a 6’ variance from the maximum parapet wall height requirements set forth in section 1.5.7.A.1. and Section 1.5.7.D.2.e. that would result in a 18’ tall parapet wall; and a variance from Article 9.4. of the Raleigh Street Design Manual to permit reverse vehicular motion ingress and egress from loading areas onto a public street. All requests are in conjunction with the construction of two Mixed-Use Buildings on a 1.85-acre property zoned Downtown Mixed-Use-20 located at 320 and 324 W.

Okay, so A-60-19 gives me a headache just reading it.

Sounds like a lot of driveways and stuff. Is this going to have an annoying pull in like Wells Fargo (originally would have been a First Union design) building does along Salisbury? That thing should have been disallowed as-is.
Would love to have pendo put some cash into public transit like Amazon did in Seattle, I like the colors better than amazons.

Pendo would need to get MUCH larger for any ambitious investment on their part.
