You’d probably have to sacrifice unit size and all surface lot driveways and parking. Outdoor amenities would likely have to be in courtyards over parking like they are in most all 5over1s downtown.

Also the site is dealing with large transmission power line easement inside the ROW along Saunders and South St. Duke isn’t going to pay to put the lines under ground. Plus a large sewer easement along the eastern property lines that can’t be shifted into NCDOT ROW without DOT approval and lots $$.

I attended the neighborhood meeting last night with some of my neighbors. This development will be a big improvement to the neighborhood. They have 3 designs which are dependent on DOT. The tallest building(s) will be either 7 stories or 12 stories at Dawson Street. The other buildings taper in height. The affordable housing piece of 170 units will be phase 1 building and also with a senior building and start this year while the rest of the project will be mostly market driven with a small portion affordable and take a number of years to complete. Total project of 1000 + units Stay tuned.

Thank you so much. I am sorry I missed this.
Did they give you any clarity around what “number of years” actually means? Thanks for the update.

In Raleigh, “number of years” means “anywhere from a decade to actually never, haha sorry”

The development is slated to be completed by 2030. So a five year build out.

Not too shabby if they can keep to that schedule, but they usually drift.

I wonder if we could sponsor a palm tree planting somewhere downtown, dedicate it to this community?
