The link to renderings posted by @Will is now dead. Looked through portfolio on Cline’s site but couldn’t find 301H project anywhere. No idea what the significance of this might be.

It’s been wiped from their site. Interesting that it show up no where else in Raleigh permits or site plan submissions. Perhaps they jumped the gun putting it on their site.

I do know that the developer is revising his site plans ! JMO , wondering if he has changed designer firms !

Well the site plan would definitely need to be resubmitted even if the recent rendering posted is the latest. The site plan reviewed by the city was still the 2016 version submitted by Lundy Group.

Probably revising to make the building taller.

I’ve seen renderings be mistakingly published before…I think Raleigh Architecture had that happen once on the Icehouse site…

Looking closer at those rendering image files, looks like the files were date stamped 9.22.2015. So, probably something conceptual that architect did to try to win the project? And maybe why they had to take it down once the developer started getting questions about this design.

impressive design, I just wish that they start construction on this project…also wondering about 401 Hillsborough as well.

This isn’t just fiber installation is it? I’ll be downtown tonight and will try to check this out. I want these projects to actually happen

Definitely for soil borings to design the foundation. We use the exact same ATV’s at my work.

Even if only 20 stories, this project located on a prominent hill in a gap in the skyline will bridge the connection between Faye St. and warehouse district in a big way. Especially from my favorite money shot, which is on 440 near person St. Overpass.

I really want this to get out of the ground. It should have a big impact on the skyline not only because of the height (should be 250-300ft) and location but also because of the multi building design. My personal favorite view of the skyline is coming down Wake Forest Rd and oh man will this fill in the breadth of downtown.

With that info on soil boring to design foundation what is a likely timeline for this project?

I’m taking a stab, but those are just wash bores from what I saw. Evan, Will and xtoonz know better, but I’d guess like 10% design, so not sooner than 6 months…
