Pedestrian connectivity is something the company wants to see happen in the area where East Whitaker Mill Road meets Atlantic Avenue — so much so that Beacon is now working with the city and Grubb Ventures to create a pedestrian master plan for the area. That includes pedestrian paths that connect Dock 1053, Raleigh Iron Works, Salvage Yard and 2233 Capital.
In October, Beacon Partners acquired Dock 1053 for $35 million with plans to add more development to the property. Grubb Ventures is the developer for Raleigh Iron Works and Salvage Yard.
Gorham said the company is confident the Capital Boulevard rezoning will be well received because several of the surrounding properties are zoned for 20 stories, including the recent unanimous approval of the Wake County Board ABC facility on Wicker Drive to commercial mixed-use 20 stories.
