301 Hillsborough / Raleigh Crossing

The more we can get out of the ground, sooner rather than later, is a good thing!

Fallon, a Boston developer new to this market, is about to break ground on their project 18 months after purchasing the parcel. Meanwhile, developers with deep roots in Raleigh cannot get projects off the drawing board. We have a clone of Kane in our presence. A vey welcome addition.

Clearly, it sometimes takes an outsider’s perspective to understand the opportunity. I welcome the infusion of new blood!

Is there a specific breaking ground date in September? Also, how far in advance will they announce lane closures, similar to the FNB tower Wilmington st lane closure. I’d really like to know if Dawson st is getting a lane closed in the near future. Also there is utility work going on almost daily on Dawson with lane closures a bit further down, across from the old Firestone. Is that related to 301 at all?

C’est la vie

We’re sure going to miss those surface lots.

Looking at that nice view of the state capitol that 301 Hillsborough is gonna block

Drove by this morning and noticed a big tent on this site… Looks like they might be having some kind of groundbreaking ceremony or something along those lines…

Yep - ribbon cutting today per Bill King with DRA:

Lucius · September 9, 2019, 3:46pm

Don’t ribbon cutting ceremonies typically happen once the building is finished?

From the picture it’s clearly a ‘groundbreaking’ ceremony.

RaleighBikeLady · September 9, 2019, 3:58pm

Sorry guys! Wrong “jargon”. Reference the pic for information

Pretty large tent and turnout, they had the event catered serving food too

I’m so happy that our city is growing. I’m not a fan of having so many surface parking lots in our city’s downtown.

GucciLittlePig · September 9, 2019, 4:50pm

I walked by and saw this yesterday and was like, I wonder if there’s a groundbreaking ceremony Monday morning. And here it is. Yay! Can’t wait to see this building start going up.

Large parking lots like this one are so ugly and need to get covered up. Even a crappy two story parking deck is a better use of space, but I’m glad that something pretty high density is finally going up in this area!

I parked in a surface parking lot for about 7 years when I first started working downtown. I really appreciated the convenience and the lower price for parking. There are actually fewer parking lots nowadays then there was back then. I view a parking lot as a construction project that just hasn’t started yet…
