Check out the last picture Dylan posted. There’s a bridge over Atlantic in it on the top-left.
Oh! Thanks 
The developer, Jamestown, has a history of making some pretty interesting mixed-use properties.

Ponce City Market is super cool. I wish we had a building that could come close to the size of that development but I’m hopeful we’ll have a similarly impactful development out of this.

Looks great. I would love to see this project drive some sidewalk construction on Whitaker Mill between Wake Forest and Atlantic.

Construction to start in June according to the N&O article.

And sidewalks along Atlantic connecting to the Greenway.

Sidewalks anywhere on Atlantic would be great. You can’t walk outside the beltline on Atlantic. Can’t get into downtown either. Major sh%^ show.

How about that walkway crossing Atlantic Avenue?
Looks like it connects the current project, Dock 1053 to this new project.
That would provide this project, including the large 7-story residential component (has red/brick exterior, upper right) to the services at Dock 1053, including Lynwood Brewery!
Also 500,000 sqft of office space… whew that’ll be competing with a lot of other projects going up in Raleigh. Although this one differentiates with ‘creative office space’.
And 90,000 sqft of retail? This project packs quite a punch. All that for $150M is impressive. I guess that’s the advantage of ‘reuse’ instead of all new everything. And where are they hiding the parking? This site looks so clean without the mega-garages. (click for larger)

Guess the guy sitting behind me has done a good job with his shared parking study if it looks like that

Looks like to me like there is 2 levels of parking under the apartments, looks like 5 floors of apartments over parking. Two levels of parking with 5 floor of stick? Seems they are over some sort of pedestal and there looks to be an car entrance just to right of closest corner in pic. there is also def parking and entrances under the office buildings.

Yeah, adaptive reuse to soooo much cheaper than demolishing and building from scratch, and as an added bonus, it’s much more environmentally friendly. Not every existing building is well suited to it, obviously, but when it works, sometimes you can get something really special.

This project will be sandwiched in between Lynnwood and Big Boss. That whole area between Big Boss and the Greenway is ripe for redevelopment also.

I never know which thread to put this stuff in, but it looks like there’s some movement on the property on the corner of Six Forks and Wake Forest, the one with the Applebees on it.

So they’re just doing some facade work? No redevelopment, no density, no mixed-use 
They are adding a bank, a stand alone retail building split into two units, and converting the previous RIMA martial arts into 3 retail units. I believe the Lifetime fitness is changing over to 24-hour fitness also

I stand by my original comment. A huge missed opportunity to not go vertical at this intersection, especially with Midtown East and North Hills not too far away.

Agreed. Same with what they did with the Wegmans development.

So disappointing, especially since the developer has a lot of experience in multi-family and mixed use developments.
