Is this part of North Hills?
The site description says Glenwood at Hillsborough but the map pin is in North Hills. Also talks about 10 stories but looks like 6.
Haha nice! We were just brainstorming about the some of those parcels a few months ago in this thread. I think having some buildings fronting Six Forks will be great for connecting the two NH Districts.
This was The Vine apartments

Weird. Did it use to go by the Gaddy?
Itās a weird write-up. Definitely seems to suggest a separate project but I am not aware of one by this name or company

As much as I would love to see some height, I think 40 stories is too much here. And donāt think for a second that the neighborhood along Lassiter Mill wonāt freak out about the 30 story section in the old JCP space. Honestly, it makes more sense to look at 20 stories along Six Forks sites, and then 12 stories in the other two. I know I sound like a NIMBY, but I grew up in this area, and Lassiter Mill cannot handle something that is 30 stories tall. Six Forks? yes, but not LM. This also directly competes with locations downtown, and if I am a corporation, NH has so much more to offer.

I respecfully and strongly disagree its design concepts of North Hills fully built out with tall towers about this height looks good and scales good, I fully support his rezoning and hopes he gets it pushed through as quickly as possible again just my opinion nothing wrong with yours .

Walter is 35 so it wouldnāt be too much different. Also I donāt think many if any of the 40 story zonings will actually be 40 stories. Probably closer to 30-35 like Walter. Same with 30 story probably being 22 stories etc.

Exactly, and I seriously doubt he will go the full 40 stories
But the shadows. Nextdoor and livable Raleigh folks are going to have a field day with this. But I say bring it on.

A new building where there was grass.
Edit: Looking closer, itās grass where a building stood.

Correct. A while back, it was determined a higher rezoning for that parcel would be desired to maximize value, no significant designs were developed for this corner lot and was not a part of the current project in the area.

The Main parcels are 20-30ā above Walter, and ~60ā higher than the Cardinal, so a building of similar story count might be taller here. OTOH, conceivably they wouldnāt need as much parking underneath, since the Main District has plenty of daytime parking in the retail garages ā and habitable floors are taller than parking floors.
As pointed out above, this rezoning would be a fine time to ask for a ped bridge.

āThen the well canāt produce and blow gold all over the placeā
Iād be surprised if they went over 30 on that side I suspect this is all a function of the false-dilemma R20/R40 categories.
Where is that picture from @Oakcity85? It shows the very-much-under-construction Cardinal tower as planned and Tower 5 as under construction? Am I way off base?

Iāll agree with you here to an extent, but Iāll keep an open mind. I would enjoy more medium density vs the tall buildings in this area. Whether its 3 stories or 30 stories more than likely Iāll be using only the first 2 stories depending on the building.
Iām not against a tallish building like 20 stories, but the ācoolerā neighborhoods are typically less than 12 stories tall (Haight-Ashbury SF, Jack London Square in Oakland, Castro SF, Columbia Heights DC, Fells Point Baltimore, East Village NYC, Meatpacking District, etc.).

Not off base. This can be found on the Kane website North Hills Rezoning - North Hills Parts of this graphic are a little out of date, as the Cardinal expansion is indeed under construction. Tower five will break ground by the end of this year.

Tower 5 is under construction now. They are working on the foundation.
