Started on the 6th floor of the office part of the project. Eyeball test looks to be about the same height as the hotel now.

Should actually be 5 more floors plus a 1-2 floor tall parapet crown on the northeast corner

I know it’s been said multiple times, but that is a disturbing amount of premium space dedicated to parking cars. Multiple + 1.

Truth…but, it’s location is going to pretty much guarantee the deck stays functionally profitable…and thus, its prominence…

That and, at very least, they’re going a PNC Tower route and actually cladding a majority of this deck in the same glass as the rest of the building, thus hiding it SO MUCH BETTER than 99% of Raleigh’s other parking pedestals.

EDIT: @elevatoroperator has corrected me. It’s garbage! Nevermind my enthusiasm!

They’re only glazing the corner.

The rest appears to be metal and concrete.

I rescind my enthusiasm. Another garbage parking pedestal strikes again!

From the one small section that is currently up on the exterior it looks like screening to me.

Clearly there is a construction cam for 301 Hillsborough… Who can find it?

This bad boy is starting to change up my east Raleigh skyline view. This is from east Hargett.

If/When 121 Fayetteville gets built, that whole block will be highrises from this angle. :slight_smile:

If Wells Fargo is 400 ft, and 301H is supposed to be 250 ft., how come 301H feels so short? I mean, they are only a few blocks apart, and situated at similar elevations. If the numbers are to be believed, 301H should be 62.5% as tall as Wells. It just isn’t feeling that way at all from this shot. I suppose that the 2.5 block difference in distance makes a huge impact?

Because it’s not even close to complete yet, and a good portion of both buildings is obscured from this angle. 🤷

also the issue of perspective, viewing angle, and distortion from camera and zoom.
