So potentially not so exciting news but I was told by the owner of th Berkeley Cafe that the new fencing is more about preventing the homeless from squatting in the building than pending construction. Bloomberg opened a campaign office across the street and shortly after, the fence went up. Anyone aware of actual demo permits being pulled? ---

I wonder if the permitting process for hotel vs. office/residential is more stringent, or if there’s more code they need to adhere to. That could explain why these hotel projects never seem to go anywhere. ---

No. That doesn’t have anything to do with it. We have Uber conservative hotel developers in Raleigh at the moment…none of whom seem to have the balls to really pull a project off except Kane. ---

I really don’t know why it posted sideways but I couldn’t figure out how to change it…and well was too lazy to really spend a lot of time figuring it out…plus i figured it would provide everyone with an opportunity to stretch their necks. ---

Subscriber article from TBJ advocating for a 200-room Ritz-Carlton in downtown Raleigh. He suggests Downtown South as a possible location and says a local company could make a commitment for rooms to help with the cost.

I have about 6 more months with TBJ before my subscription runs out…and personally the ONLY thing that I like about TBJ is there Quarterly “Space” 🥰 …I absolutely love the numbers for each sub-market (DTR, DTD, SixForks,Capitol, RTP, etc.) including Retail, Class A, B, C Office, Warehouse and Flex space…sigh! 🤪 ---

Westin was supposed to be in North Hills by where that new building at but… I mean they have Asheville, Charlotte, Greensboro not Raleigh like bruh. ---

Westin AVL, where? Westin is coming to RAL, developers just not choosing DTR. Brier Creek. Crabtree… Personally, I think the ‘southside’ developments will get these types of things adjacent to DTR. I could see Hyatt in the Nexus development and the redevelopment around CAM would be a cool spot for a new ‘funky’ branded hotel. I’d like more unique options like Longleaf in the vicinity of DTR. How cool would it be if the Bain Water Works got turned into a combo of retail, studios and a boutique hotel? Ramble on… More, more, MOAR… [Previous page](https://community.dtraleigh.com/t/downtown-hotels/161.md?page=34) [Next page](https://community.dtraleigh.com/t/downtown-hotels/161.md?page=36)
