Hey look at this cool pic I just took! 
Great photography skills @OakCityDylan, I mean @GucciLittlePig.
Dammit!! It’s happening again!! 
Watch out. There is a picture borrower that likes this thread.
I lived in the brick building with the four white columns across the street from this for five years until 2012. It’s a 4-unit building, all 1br. It even has a basement. It was an awesome, affordable rental and we loved the neighborhood. Lots of great memories there.
This hotel is really going to dwarf everything else on Willard.
I have spotted a crane base on the site! We will have another tower crane soon.
omggggg can someone snap a pic???
I’ll include it on tomorrow’s sanity walk.
Yep. And I need it. 
any update on the crane? 
If no one beats me to it, I’ll go that direction on my walk today.
Drove by it yesterday. No other sections on site, just the base that’s been mounted.
It seems pretty common to assemble tower cranes on weekends so maybe it will go up next weekend or something.
My sanity walks have taken me in other directions lately, need to circle back to Glenwood soon.
I remember it being nearly a month with 301 Hillsborough from the crane base to assembly of the vertical pieces.
Keep it moving so that soon it’s too late to pull the plug on it!
This developer will be well rewarded. Months if not a year away. Newest and coolest in town. Raleigh will flourish after this.
