That foundation is for the Channel House apartments. Tower 5 will be just a little bit further down from it along 440.

That 30 story rezoning at the corner of Lassiter Mill and 440 would make a lot of sense in the context of something like this.

Im sure neighborhoods near NH are feeling pretty anxious about all of these developments being planned. It might be time for people to move.

The best opportunities for development in that area and to provide walkable continuity to other disjointed areas will be the area bounded by 440, Six Forks and Barret/Computer drive. This is assuming the city is serious about extending Midtown Drive and constructing the multi modal bridge across 440. It might take 25+ years, but imagine having a dense connected area from Whitaker Mill to Highland Blvd and over to North Hills between Wake Forest/Six Forks and St. Albans.
The particular area I mentioned above along with the large parcels of land bordering Industrial Drive and the train tracks will be the litmus tests to how the entire area with develop.

To me, itâs high time the city rezones some single family areas for mixed use. Thereâs a thousand places where it could make sense, but this seems like it should be one of the first on the list.

That isnât a single family area. Itâs low rise office mostly with some townhouses.
Oh, yeah, the barrett/computer area is. That areaâs clearly destined for redevelopment, no question. I donât think there would be any controversy there.
A bolder statement would be to target the area along Rockingham St (the Lassiter Mill/Currituck/Rowan/Pamlico block) for mixed use. That is definitely a single family area, and rezoning it would add 20+ acres to the Main District.

I could see the lots facing Lassiter Mill get the SFH torn down and some tonwhouse type development. I do not see the streets behind them bein anything different then SFHs. Bunch of those houses are brand new McMansions, and unless Kane or some other developer buys them all out at market rate, I donât see that changing.

I expect that, with a rezoning, property values would increase, and the houses would all, eventually, get bought out at market rate. Some, the ones who are mostly depreciated and havenât spent a lot on teardowns or renovations, will probably cash in and sell quickly; others might hold out for a decade or more. But when they decide to sell in the end, they could cry all the way to the bank over the lost âneighborhood characterâ.
Iâm just itching to see the supposed sanctity of single family zoning shattered, and this would be a great place to start.
If Kane, or whoever, can get a contiguous block of several houses together, then a major mixed use project could happen. Or, it could happen one lot at a time - with smaller-scale mixed use buildings similar in scale to 2604 Hillsborough.

Those houses behind those five houses on Lassiter Mill are in an overlay district, so I doubt the density could ever be increased over there.
âŠUnless the city repeals the overlay district. Council passed it, council can repeal it just as well.
At any rate, I donât expect it would happen tomorrow, but this is the sort of thing that needs to be on the radar, if we ever hope to overcome this:
The only census tract in Raleigh in 2020 with more than 10,000 residents per square mile is the wedge between Western, Avent Ferry, and Gorman

TBJ article on the pending NH zoning. Itâs long but I donât think it really said much of anything we havenât already touched on here.
It does however have a nice slideshow of the phase thatâs under construction now.

Per this site plan this is for tower 5. But maybe this is out of date.

Portion of planned HUB RTP development expanding from 50,000 sq ft to 125,000 sq ft. Will be called the Horseshoe from Charlotte developer White Point Partners.

Should be complete mid 2023.

From the name and the square footage, the Hub RTP website (the same one as my previous post) seems to suggest itâll be this site:
From the WRAL TechWire article about this, it looks like the building facades may look a little bland and corporate, but the softscaping should more than make up for it:

There we go! It had been hiding deep in some city of Durham files I found last year but I could never find anything official.
