Raleigh-area Mall / Life-Style Center / RTP Redevelopments

I drove by everyday.

That’s the most basic Westin I’ve ever seen…:sleepy:hopefully they’ll put one downtown this decade

I cannot imagine paying the rents that I’m sure these will be asking to live on C*pital Boulevard

Raleigh’s a growing, desirable city, especially with young renters. This is the way.

I never said it isn’t: this is literally the worst location in the city.

Is it though? 5 mins from downtown and north hills without the prices of those spots. Plenty of people probably banging down the door to get in here.

Highwoods is getting ready to redevelop their 1980’s office park next to this new apartment into a mixed use project. Basically from Capital Blvd to Glenwood is getting ready to look like North Hills.

Seeing that Lexington on the Green is asking about $1200, I can only imagine what these would go for.

Is it me or does this look more like a cheap hotel?

Capital might become trendy. It isn’t now and hasn’t been in several generations.

That said, anyone remember Carver’s Creek? My parents sure did enjoy that place.

There’s a lot of places within -7 minutes of downtown (not counting traffic) that don’t front Raleigh’s worst corridor. I’m sure plenty of people who have no clue about the area will sign leases site unseen but you won’t catch me.

I would love to hear more about this.

I don’t really know any more than that. Heard about it a couple months ago. Can’t even recall where I heard it.

Their airport/deep suburb/3rd-tier city locations aren’t very exciting looking. They put a lot more effort into downtown hotels or ones next to mega-hub airports.

Well, how the heck is “Raleigh’s worst corridor” ever going to improve unless someone takes the first step? You’re a stone’s throw from the Beltline, in walking distance to plenty of (authentic!) Mexican food trucks, and on the most frequent bus line in the city. There’s plenty to like about that location, who cares about a used car dealership or two?

I find that very unlikely considering they sold it to Dean Debnam late last year. Maybe he’ll redevelop it but it won’t be Highwoods

Figured that drone was someone on here. I’ll re-adjust the picture size when I get to a computer.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to upset the Capital Boulevard Boosters’ Club. Frankly, it’s not going to improve until there is significant public investment, to completely rebuild the road with grade separation, which is going to take decades. I’m not sure these apartments are even the first step you refer to considering they have a parking ratio of >1 space per bedroom. Nobody here is going to be walking anywhere, and who could blame them? I don’t want to risk my life crossing a 10-lane car sewer for a taco either.
