301 Hillsborough / Raleigh Crossing

It is on Hillsborough St., just east of the new Target between Pogue and Horne.

Hey everyone look, another 20 story building in Raleigh. We are going to have the flattest roof line in America all in the name of dictorial city planning. Although developers can go past 20, it requires additional scrutiny and a longer process. Which, is quite clear at this point, developers have no desire to engage the city in given their propensity to slow down the process to a snail’s pace.

Being the size Queen/King that I am…lol :laughing:
Let me say that as DTR has a very rolling topography I think we will be in good shape! IMHO! :grin:

Didn’t they rezone it up to 20 at the request of the last developer?

The 20 story building bug isn’t a problem yet.

Raleigh doesn’t have enough buildings that height either so it’s still an improvement.

Assumptions about ground floor plan spaces. Hotel lobby in purple, office lobby in blue, residence lobby in green, retail spaces in red. I count potentially 7 retail spaces. Although the tiny spots sandwiched among loading docks and parking deck entrances seem not so desirable and will probably be last to be filled, if at all.

Also, recall that this is a big improvement over the pre-udo status quo. Previously anything this big would have had to go before council for conditional zoning approval or something. Now, much of downtown gets up to 20 stories, no questions asked - and NIMBYs never get a soapbox to stand on to publicly air their hysteria.

And rough guess at upper level tower floor plates above the 7 floor parking deck podium.

Sorry State records occupies a space like that right across the street and its the sort of retail diversity downtown really needs.

I thought the office tower site plans were already submitted? And isn’t the hotel tower planned for Phase II?

The residents tower will be phase 2 . The plans have changed & the new plans from the new owner has just submitted new site plans for the office/hotel tower .

Glad to see a new office tower get going! (assuming plans work out). There’s so much momentum for companies moving into the downtown area, so I’m sure developers are keen to get these projects going pronto. It’s really good for the tax base as well.
And the residential components are sure to follow. A new 250’ tower? I’m down with that! :grin:

They just need to get started. All these projects in development but no real construction just yet. Is there going to be a point in 2020 or 2021 where there’s 15-20 cranes hanging over Downtown Raleigh?
