501 Hillsborough was the proposed 7-8 story building that was rezoning to 40 floors. I thought that one was a done deal, but iMaps still shows 12 floors zoning there. This one, 401 Hillsborough block, is now DX-40-SH

A place where different downtown districts meet is the perfect place for 40 floors of residential IMO.

Indeed.
Raleigh generally, and downtown in particularly, needs to start connecting the many great nods of growth and activity we’ve got going on. A strong project here will fill in a gap and really make the wild west side one zone. Next up, the N&O block!!

right at 2:00 mins into that video, the woman being interviewed says what SO MANY people are thinking. she likes living downtown as a renter, but “probably buy a house outside of the city” when it comes to purchasing. Our burbs keep growing. This is probably more for a different topic, but it just jumped out at me, and that’s how they wrapped up the interview/the whole clip.
The block in the video clip is not the 401 block of Hillsborough Street. It’s the 501 block (lawnmower repair, Flex, an architect, and a violin? store). The one that was supposed to be some 5 over 1 apartments but was announced months ago they were going back for greater height approval. so maybe this needs to go in wherever that topic is for a construction address.
