The latest ASR shows 37 floors + mechanical, with a height above street level of Glenwood of ~409 feet, depending on the height of the crown. 708ā above sea level.
PNC is 538 feet above grade, which would be about 874 feet above sea level.
The Eastern is 404feet above grade, which would be approximately 762 feet above sea level.

Currently the market is expecting interest rates to drop soon. This can cause a pretty big construction boom in the city since the financing of projects like these may be getting cheaper again.

Probably in September theyāll go down and since most of downtown is rezoned to 40. We should see a lot of ASRs

I feel like any drops would be small and gradual, though. If I had waited this long to start, Iād probably wait for them to bottom out.
Funny to see these two stories posted back-to-back. One is 7 floors, one is 37 floors, both the ātallestā.

In this way (shorter height/number of floors) Cary reminds me of Chapel Hill.

I think this is just the beginning for Cary to see more buildings this tall or even taller. And Iām really excited to see that resi tower on Glenwood start to get underway!

Pretty boring and uninspiringā¦perfect!! i do think it will actually look better in person than the renderings show. The white at least gives it a bit of character and should pop. Stick a spire on it and make it an even 40 
Iāll still take it.
i feel like i no longer have the luxury to be picky about fancy designs after the great hope of 2007 Raleigh skyline renderings and proposed projects. Maybe in 2030 when we get our random OKC supertall sister tower

Where is that located?
The sky deck on the 36th floor of The Eastern. Iāve never bothered to validate this but just assumed that the elevation is higher here given itās North Hillsā¦

It looks like The Eastern sits on land about 20 feet higher than PNC Plaza. I call bullshit.

At least they didnāt say itās the tallest, just that itās got the highest number of floors. Wait till they see this Lego Iām building that has 100 floors but is only 10 feet tallā¦

Per the WRAL story noted above, the developer (Turnbridge Equities) plans to break ground by the end of this year. This project will dramatically enhance the western end of the skyline. Cāmon cranes!

Reminder phase 1 is just the residential towerā¦ and who knows if the office tower even gets builtā¦ so quite a bit different looking than whatās being portrayed from the whole build-out.

If the office market doesnāt rebound, maybe they pivot to another residential tower in itās place.
