I’ll never understand why they don’t just put signs up when they still have the tower crane.

Because the tower crane was removed in May and keeping it in place for 5+ months only to install the signage would be an astronomical waste of money.

Yeah but the facade was almost done at that point so I don’t get why you wouldent just put the sign up at that point

There’s a weird balancing act between extending the construction timeline with removing the crane and it’s ability to speed up the process with the large per month rental for the crane.

Perhaps you don’t put a sign on a building until the tenants are ready to or already have moved in?

It’s not. The crane is on location getting ready, I think the weekends bad weather changed their schedule.

above grade parking would never go away because it’s 50% cheaper to build than running underground parking. Tenants are demanding more and more parking as part of signing big leases so we need to be ready to continue to see parking garage under office towers.
I spent many years on the general contractor side then a few years on the development side until I became a consultant. An underground parking garage will run you $50k-$60k per parking space and above grade will be $25k-$35k per space. This is why developers are more attracted to parking garages.
Running green walls becomes VERY expensive with maintenance upkeep and this is why metal panels are being use all over the country, not just Raleigh.

It’s on WRAL now too. Sounds like all weekend. Maybe I’ll get lucky and actually be downtown when the signs go up.
