400 Hillsborough Tower

Another angle:

I keep wondering how much longer the old Hicks mansion is going to stay.

[GucciLittlePig]

Is that Second Empire or that orange house or something else?

[dbearhugnc]

Orange house

301 Hillsborough / Raleigh Crossing

Fallon’s office in the brick house is a temporary and final use of the structure. They will eventually move into the building under construction. [Henry Hicks Mansion] Well, folks, it appears that the wakegov.com real estate site is not the bestest place to get accurate historical information. What I was led to believe was a Maynard/Peele house, is in fact the Henry Hicks mansion. Check back for future updates… It was sold to the Fallon Group in 2016 where it currently serves as their con…

[GucciLittlePig]

Ah, gotcha. Btw something about Hicks Mansion makes me picture Beverly Hillbillies lol

Yeah, I have no problem with that building, but I’m still hoping Fallon or someone else gets going on redeveloping that awkwardly left second phase of Raleigh Crossing.

It looks like a super tall haunted house at night currently

Took these on the 3rd, so the building’s a floor or two further along now.

Pick your poison - glare from the windows at DH Hill Library

Or a smokestack in the way from the Dabney Hall stairwell

[pBeez]

Love that smoke stack.

[clairebertt]

Me too! (it’s my office building )

[Tsar]

3 floors left?

A biggish City angle…

[EllieB]

It doesn’t look like a big city to me. One existing new building, an old out of date hotel and one building under construction. Pretty sad from this perspective actually.

[Raleighite1]

The shingle roof that’s in the picture is what really makes the perspective odd… don’t see many shingles in metropolitan areas!

Old meet new

[pBeez]

It feels like old town is getting enclosed by glass towers.
Anyone have access to W-F? Can you get a photo of 400H from there, with the old water tower in the background?
Maybe I should be asking for one of our drone operators . . .

[Yimbyforlife]

That why I say biggish. Because there a gap where there could be another building.

[Phil]

To me it looks like the biggish city in the world.

[Francisco]

I wonder if State of Beer is willing to relocate here once the their block gets redeveloped. It’s only a matter of time. Probably to early to know what retail will go in the bottom floor but would be nice if the retail spots don’t sit for a while.

[haus_of_chad]

If I remember correctly from a city council meeting I watched, State of Beer should be going into the new 401 Hillsborough building. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

401 Hillsborough Street

Rezoning Approved. Someone correct me if they heard differently, but sounds like Roast Grill may be staying in the redeveloped building (in a larger space which they want) and also sounds like state of beer has a leasehold here as well.

[Jake]

Just gotta wonder what they’ll do in the interim when 401 Building is being built!

[GucciLittlePig]

And what am I gonna do? I feel like I’m there every time I go downtown
