A fabulous looking building. I foresee the nucleus of Raleighās skyline shifting over to that corridor long term.

I think itāll have to. Thereās very little room to expand east without displacing alot of folks. 80% of our downtown density will be west of our āmain streetā 20-30 years from now.

I disagree, only because developers donāt care about displacing people.

They might not, but politicians do. It has the potential to anger and move around their voter base.

Thatās quite the generalization. Letās not forget that in 20 years an entirely new generation with a different worldview will be in power.

Itās also important to understand that worldviews morph as people get older. That isnāt to say that things wonāt change at all. Itās only to say that it wonāt necessarily reflect exactly where people find themselves today.

Yeah thatās definitely true, but I donāt think that fully undermines my point. I say this with no disrespect and Iām speaking strictly from my direct life experience and observations, but the majority of large business decision makers, multi-millionaires, people in power, etc. Are baby boomers, And on average they tend to be more profit driven and have a worldview more rooted in productivity and busy body-ness rather than quality of life and ethics. I think the concept of triple bottom line (people, planet, profits) belongs more to the millennials than the baby boomers, and my hope is that as the torch continues to be passed we see more triple bottom line driven institutions, including developers.

Raleigh is less than 250 years old. Most of that time as a small college town. Thereās hundreds of years of maturing to undergo in this city. Hate how Americans think in terms of a few years instead of in terms of what we leave for future generations to build on.

As someone whoās been with his company for more than 25 years now, I can tell you that Iāve witnessed a massive cultural and business shift in the last 5 years alone. Franky, itās astonishing how much change Iāve witnessed, and thatās a good thing.

Wow, what an awful building.
Yep looks like a building in Pittsburgh in itās steel making days where everything was gray.
Not sure about that, I love the old gothic rust belt architecture. At least it has feeling.

The skinny profile north/south is pretty rad IMO.

Just referring to how every thing was coated in dust, soot, and smoke. Friend and I did a spur-of-moment road trip in 1970 up east coast to NYNY and then back to NC via the mountains. When we passed through Pittsburgh area around noon.It was a nice sunny day, 40 miles north and 40 miles south, but as send through Pittsburgh was so dark due to pollution the street lights where on. 
(<<did not see one for smoke)

I think it looks just fine. The skinny profile is something different. Plus it adds some diversity to the blue boxes and the brick skyscrapers of the Warehouse District.
