It’s a great looking building for sure.
90+ year old building. It’s time.

What even is “historic” ? Who even cares about cool buildings that have stood the test of time for a century? BORING! Give me more 5-over-1 beige slop please!!!

I don’t hate that house; in fact I really like it as well. Let’s move it to your lot. I am sure that it will fit.

Also the fact that State is going to take out three of their big residence halls in the near future. I assume the surge in new development in the area is due to this, along with an ever-growing student population that needs/wants convenient housing.

I thought that Hub was supposed to take care of those needs?

They are sequencing it so they are building new residence halls before demo-ing the current ones. So never less supply.

It’s been a while since I looked at the plan they published so I could be wrong but I thought they were planning on taking down Bragaw before starting construction on the first of the new dorms in that area?

I don’t think they’ve released the updated plans but yea it would be demo of just one wing of the ‘X’ of Bragaw in Phase 1 for 1 new dorm. Other 2 will start on Lee Field first. So I guess a few rooms down.

Per a TBJ article today, the tenant that will be filling this long vacant space on Hillsborough St will be Rally House. I’ve always wanted a larger NCSU apparel store on Hillsborough - and wish the Red and White Shop would have opened a 2nd location here - so I’m glad about that. But I was reallyyyyy hoping for a fun bar/restaurant concept to go in this space with a 2nd level to it.
They have a Durham and Chapel Hill stores that largely sell Duke/Carolina gear. Sounds like this one will sell largely State merch. They also plan to open a Cary store to sell gear for all the area’s teams.

They could still do a second floor outdoor space like Raising Canes has done. I’m sure that they could come up with a creative solution.
Can you share the link to these?

That will be interesting as the site requires lot of dedication of ROW on Horse Track Alley as fire truck can’t get down current alley and they won’t meet fire coverage. We will see. .
