I actually think this turned out pretty well. Nice to see the sidewalks open and the fencing down.

It’s coincidental that the construction company that’s building on the site of an old Wells Fargo is named wells and wells.

Hub is honestly not a bad looking building, for what it is. I’d say it looks better than any of the other student complexes on Hillsborough. That’s not a high bar to clear, but at least it does clear it.

They did a good job adding some visual variety to what could’ve easily been a giant boring slab of a building

Excited to report that there is ground-floor retail at HUB and it is a coffee shop and it is open to the public (well, not yet.. but soon). Maybe we have a lot of coffee shops, but I’m happy with this development. It’s on Cox Ave, not Hillsborough St, but I’m excited to check it out.

Yeah, I can’t hate! Any ground floor/street level activation is good in my book, even if it is just another coffee shop. I’ll take this over nothing!!!

Thousands of students and a coffee shop? That’s a good business model.

From looking at their instagram, looks like it’s a chain from the hub themselves, they seem to have one in most of their buildings. Makes sense as a business model, slightly disappointing vs it being a local thing though.

For years, 2510 Hillsborough St. sat frozen in time — a half-built shell with a crane looming over a project that never happened. Now, the long-stuck site is in new hands and finally showing signs of life. It’s being reborn as a 7,800-square-foot, mixed-use commercial building directly across from N.C. State University.
