Did any 5 over 1s get built in 2021, or are any planned right now?

Interesting. Hope thereâs some sort of courtyard ped pass through to bridge the funky gap at the end of Lane street

Where would it go? Even if you get through to West Street, you still have two train lines blocking the way to Glenwood and anywhere to really go. I guess Five Star would be much more accessible from the east.

Just getting to west even feels like more of a win than stopping at Harrington imo. Not a huge deal of course but would be nice.

Funny to think back on scrapped plans. From 2008 I think, 11 story retail, office, Hyatt Hotel was supposed to go where Link is.

I know north hills has one but how Downtown Raleigh doesnât have a Hyatt place and Hyatt house is crazy to me - every city has them 
(I have a Hyatt card and basically only stay at them for some reason)

I feel like something like that could work in that open field next to the building Five Star is in. If my memory serves correct itâs at the intersection of North and West street too. Honestly anything would look better there than the open field it is now IMO

With downtown Raleighâs history of being primarily a government town, itâs easy to see why hotel brands didnât invest in the city. The core needs more corporate presence to justify further investment in upscale hotels.

As @pe1358 posted in the Downtown Hotels thread, a Hyatt House will be part of the Seaboard Station development.

yup. canât happen soon enough!
@Anti-carAction not too bad use of the space all in all. and the parking is hidden
I was speaking more about the Hyatt place / Hyatt house lower end types that are in most downtowns. Even smaller ones such as Greensboro etc.

Proposed 40-story rezoning text change of 316 W Edenton Street has passed the city council. David Cox only one in opposition.
