Not sure if this can be found anywhere, but it would be great to have one thread that summarizes all of the various projects going on in DTR, and maybe NH, Crabtree, Iron Works.
Is there anything like this somewhere? If so, feel free to move this post!
Thought I would start a very rough map of what I was talking about. I am still building this out, but thought I would share with everyone. I am in New York, so I can’t follow everything closely, so any help is appreciated.
The Wikipedia page has a pretty good list List of tallest buildings in Raleigh, North Carolina - Wikipedia
The Downtown alliance has a pretty good one. And I believe someone had a Google Map about a year ago on here.
Thanks all! I am gonna keep working on my map and share what I have regularly. Never hurts to have another database.
I have been to that wikipedia page a few time and never realized it had a “proposed” section!
The main RUS tower is actually 36 stories & Nexus was approved 40 stories
Whoever was responsible for noting development plans on iMaps must have been on vacation and just gotten back because they have gone from no recent changes to the kitchen sink this morning
Haha! I just noticed that. Looks like a circus now.
Looks like even just rezonings are fully highlighted now instead of just ASR plans.
Wasn’t sure if this topic should be under New Construction or Planning DTRaleigh, but I opted for the latter based on the topic descriptions. Technically rezonings and ASRs don’t count as “physical development.”
Do you still maintain this list? What does it look like now?
Remind me, have we seen this yet?
What’s crazy about phase 2 of The Weld is how many more units are being delivered to that project.
Looks like these are from back in January
More angles, for reference
In a spirit of reflection I’m revisiting this list:
Quite a lot there. As usual, I was very wrong about a lot of these. My dead last beat my first place! Let’s do it again.
This doesn’t take into account the time any of these may be developed, only the likelihood of their being developed at all within the next ~5 years. It is mostly based on vibes. It also doesn’t include Omni or State Education Campus, each of which were proposed after the above list and (mostly) broke ground since this one.
Here are a few thoughts:
a. My hope going into 2026 is that most of the concerns keeping projects in neutral (interest rates, construction costs, rental rates) will have been present for long enough that developers playing wait-and-see will have to move forward or go home. Those backed by investment funds will need to do something here soon.
b. To my knowledge 18 and below are either suspended or functionally dead. I only put Nexus/N&O at the top because that’s too good of a location not to get something. I am on record as thinking that the current owners are not the ones to see it through.
c. I waffled about where to put the RUS Tower but I’m optimistic that the public financing portion of this has the developers tied down, and the affordable housing component has been mostly put to bed.
d. I feel better about the Nash Square condos than this might reflect, but because they are subject to the vicissitudes of the condo market it felt prudent to place them lower.
e. I continue to believe that Smoky Hollow Phase III will gain momentum once the Devereux Meadows Park is built.
f. This is an enviable roster, reflecting really well on DTR.
Happy New Year
If the folks who just got their site rezoned adjacent to Smoky Hollow Park don’t pounce quickly, Kane will. This will be interesting to watch. 
nice list. where does union depot (loden’s redevelopment of the historic depot) fit in? i’m really excited about this one.
Yeah I continue to believe he will build eventually. Probably just more upside for him at NH currently.
