With the building out of the way, you can tell how large of a parcel they have here.

They seem to be picking up speed now. They placed signage up on the lot today. Now that lot could sit untouched for a long time after this, but it’s still promising.

Construction sites like to have as much space to work around the building as they can. The tower would butt right up to that portion of the building and that’s where the big plaza will be. If they don’t demo that, then my doubts come back that the are actually building the tower.

The seven-story brick warehouse at the base of the tower is cool though. I wish we had one of those to historically preserve.

If they put an observation tower in Fred Fletcher park it would capture the full skyline, from Glenwood to downtown. But residents would complain about shadows.

Maybe one of the reasons they finally wanted to get this started. Raleigh has had record apartment demand in 2nd quarter of this year and at the same time construction has slowed down. When this tower delivers in 2.5 years or so should hit the market at a good time.
