ASR is online, but has the wrong site plans attached :person_facepalming:

Seems like a lot of square feet for 246 units. Includes the parking I guess. Pretty great if Kane plans to start this and the other one around the same time. My feeling is Kane doesn’t really seem to file plans if they are not serious about starting.

Driving east on 440, I noticed a new crane going up yesterday in space next to tower 5. I think this is the Tributary residential building. Anyone get a pic?

Saw it this morning - yes that would be for that new 5-over-1 going in there!

Yep. I recently passed a truck that had a couple of the base sections on a flatbed the other day waiting there to unload. I wanted to grab a pic to post for the forum but alas I had to be a responsible driver. St Albans is part of my commute and this stretch has been non-stop building for the past 10 years at least.

This part of Raleigh always reminds me of Tysons Corner in Northern VA. Quirky little mini-downtown off by itself in the suburbs with so much stuff there you may find yourself going there instead of “in-town” for much of what you need to buy or just to hang out.

Those bridges are probably 10 years out a minimum

If they happen at all. The longer a project waits on the drawing board, its cost rises faster than the funds available for it.

They finally updated the ASR attachment on the planning portal. Nothing too crazy.

14 floors? They went through all the trouble of upzoning this from 12-20 floors, and are now building 14?

If you want to go above 12 floors, you have to rezone to 20. There isn’t anything between the two numbers.

I know, just seems like they would go a bit taller since they got the rezoning.

but then again, it just goes to show that the NIMBY renderings showing monolithic blocks taking the full lot dimensions and height, and shadows are just fear mongering tactics to get the residents fired up.

Lol exactly. The ironic part is having lower zoning is what would result in massive blocks like the hub or Kane’s west end.

And in massing they all start to look like Soviet commie-blocks.

Where exactly is this tower proposed?

The hole in the ground next to RH created when they finished the last expansion. Should make it easy to go vertical quickly.

I assume the ground floor retail here will finally lure our missing luxury brands. Not enough vacancies to close the gap currently (though Chanel was a good fill). Having an entire first floor of retail available on one block means Kane can create a super high end corner of NH and market it that way. In malls with LV, Hermes, Tiffany’s, Gucci, etc, they’re typically clustered together. It has never been a matter of if but when. Didn’t happen in the last phase, but Kane prioritized restaurants and the Lululemon relo took a large footprint. So I think it happens now with this project.

Call me a commie but I’d be psyched if Kane built one of these

Always felt and was hoping this was the site for Raleigh’s first legit 5 star hotel.
