This looks nice, hope it still is. Also glad that Legends found a new home. Seems like it’ll be a good spot!
Also, does anyone know if there are any plans for the huge parking lot in the block below? 329 W Hargett. This really needs redevelopment IMO.

Hope so. But 28 months old… so maybe doubtful?
Also, CityPlat owns this land?? Ugh, maybe even more doubtful that it will even happen.

That lot is owned by Highwoods, which has very rough preliminary plans that have been in purgatory since they bought it. Highwoods is very conservative and they don’t do almost any residential. Which is to say don’t hold your breath

Highwoods just moved its headquarters here. They’re also aggressively renovating the old Wells Fargo building and have filled in the businesses across the street. They’ve also selectively filled many spaces along Fayetteville Street, like the new Sir Walter Coffee joint.
While this has been the case for a long time, it’s no longer the case. They’ve aggressively changed how they’re approaching Raleigh.

I thought that Highwoods was already HQ’d in Raleigh.
Yeah they were on Highwoods Blvd but moved downtown when they bought the artist formerly known as the Wells Fargo building. So I also hope they’ve changed their general approach given their late investments but we’ll see.

Is RBC (PNC) Plaza their only new-build in downtown? Ever? 16 years ago… yea I’ll wait to see action before I believe in any new construction from them.

Going on 17… pretty disappointing that our last tallest building will be 20 years old in just 3. For one of the “fastest growing cities in the US” … that’s abysmal.

No need for sarcasm quotes, we are one of the fastest growing cities in the US. As a city, we just clearly have very few office workers who are demanding tower real estate or people moving here for big city lifestyles.
The irony is those same people turn around and complain about traffic getting worse and worse.

Yeah it takes time COVID destroyed office demand, I think highroads is gonna focus more on apartment and mixed use buildings.
