Food Halls and Grocery Stores in downtown Raleigh

Have they done much marketing before this point?

damn, I thought I’d seen a listing before… Was it taken down and just relisted? They say it’s newly listed.

I’ve seen it on loopnet on and off for awhile. They might need to accept that whoever buys the land might not be as excited about building someone else’s plans and they might want to build their own idea - so they probably don’t want to pay a premium for ~ permit-ready building plans ~

For that sort of money for a site that small, whatever happens here has to be pretty substantial.

Yea, that’s the case. The buyer I had mentioned about purchasing it several months ago just backed out at the 11th hour for some of these reasons. No coincidence it was just listed, but probably for the better, this guy had no intentions of building that General store concept.

Zoned IX-3-UL so likely someone will want to go up to 3 floors here and also fill out the maximum massing here.

Or try for a rezoning to go to 5 floors. Clutch the pearls!

That was also part of the problem. The residents of the Ware were already fighting that proposal.

Hold up… is “The Ware” those townhomes that were built as part of this development… which was planned from the jump to include this multi-story auxiliary building?

To rezone to more than 5 floors, they were told it would be a 3 story general store. Not 200 apartments

Maybe the site would be perfect for a drive-thru fast food joint? :wink:

My former townhome at the Ware looked out directly at this site. Luckily I had an unobstructed view. Anything over 3 stories would have blocked it. The new owners just both happen to be attorneys. Good luck building anything over 3 there.

Apropos of nothing I’m at Yatai right now and their specials are pretty great. 50% tacos and margs. $2 fish taco, $7 for 3 quesabirria, and a $5 margherita. That’s a pretty good value downtown for some good food.

They have $3 Sapporo drafts every day I think, except they’re always out.

Yep it’s Tuesday only (cocktail specials are dinner only, tacos are lunch too).

They have a lot of specials. Wed is $2 off buns. Weekday lunches are bogo traditional sushi rolls. There’s more I think.
