I’m sorry to tell you that all the “Junk” on top of the building is mechanical and HVAC - not going anywhere hahaha

Yeah this seriously needs some sort of screening and lighting. I really hope they don’t plan to leave it like this; it looks unfinished.

I’m pretty sure they’re required to screen the rooftop equipment. There will be something in the openings.

Big news, the tower crane is coming down.
What does this mean for you?
Hargett Street will be closed Feb. 11-15 between Dawson Street and McDowell Street to allow crews to remove the tower crane. The street must be closed for this work for safety reasons. The back exit of RMB will also be closed during this work.
Why is it coming down?
The removal of the tower crane is a significant milestone for the City Hall project. The crane’s removal indicates that the dry-in stage of the project is near. Dry-in is the point in the construction process at which the rough exterior work is complete. This means the building is essentially waterproof at this point, and crews will now be working on the interior.
Can you believe it? This project is on the home stretch. Substantial completion is scheduled for December of this year.

This really turned out nice. Now the older city building next door needs to come down it looks like a small town municipal building. Love this new tower. And yes my cheap self parked for free for 2 hours at the old deck behind it. Thank you city of Raleigh for the free parking!

These are some of the better shots I’ve seen of the tower. Very nicely done! I love the front elevation shot and how it emphasizes the visual movement in the fenestration.
