Snapped this last night.
Great shot!
Pretty striking view of the parking garage. Hoping after Two Hillsborough that they move forward with the âfuture phase of Two Glenwoodâ (from those site plans) and build along the Hargett frontage to hide the garage.
Theyâre saying mid 2019 for the hotel so Iâm guessing theyâre either going to do the two "Two"s at once or theyâve changed their plans.
Thereâs another future phase earmarked for the back of the property between Hargett and the parking deck. Curious whatâs planned for there and the timeline for that.
Maybe theyâll revive the dream of Raleigh Beach
How did Origin Hotel score a Glenwood Ave. address when itâs not on Glenwood Ave? 2 Glenwood?
I may be wrong but, I think Glenwood Avenue ends right at that hotel/parking deck?
Yeah it does but logically 1 Glenwood would be the hotel and 2 Glenwood would be the office building. The numbers should start at 1 right? I think itâs more marketingâŚ
Is the hotel part of this round of construction? I know parking decks go up fast compared to steel and girder construction, but it looks like theyâre just focusing on the deck right now. Hope Iâm wrong.
Glenwood ends at Morgan, and the hotel faces Morgan on the south side of the street. Itâs not on Glenwood. If it were on the north side of Morgan and bordered Glenwood on one side like One Glenwood does, I could see them using a Glenwood Address because they could choose one road or the other. It will be interesting what Apple & Google Maps does with that address.
My guess is that 1 Glenwood and 2 Glenwood are just the names of the buildings, making it sound like a campus. (sort of) Mapping apps will just use their property address.
Plus the address of 2 Glenwood gets you close enough.
It would have made more sense to me if the entire multi-parcel âcampusâ was just called 1Glenwood.
Two Glenwood is just the name of the development. I bet the building will be called Origin Hotel. And the parking deck will just be called Parking Deck.
The parking deck they are currently working on has no windows / openings facing Morgan St., And it appears to be super close to the road, like not enough room for a hotel between, but maybe there is. Iâm on mobile and donât feel like downloading the site plan - anyone know where the hotel is going in relation to the deck?
The hotel is going on the side of the deck between the deck and One Glenwood. Scroll down here to see the rendering. It will just be one room deep.
Also, note the address of 2 Glenwood Ave.
I like the look of the rooms, a little more upscale vs Aloft (to contemporary)
Having it only one room deep is really surprising. And thatâs gonna be a pretty blank wall on the one side of that hallway. I guess they know what theyâre doing
Origin Hotel looks good. Surprised though that they wouldnât at least make it an L shape to put rooms on the side facing downtown instead of just a wall facing North. There will be great views of Quroum and the midrange towers of lower Glenwood. But⌠kind of like the 10 story Residence Inn by the Convention Center⌠the roof bar points the wrong wayâŚ
Trying to figure out how exactly itâs all going to be situated has been a fun game for me and my friend the last several months.
