If like the Atlanta one, itâll be more toward the center of the development with balconies and overlooks etc

Based on the article, it wonât replace the grocery store (theyâre still looking to add a grocery to replace Wegmans). So this would be separate thing, which as someone who lives ~1 mile away, Iâm excited for!
They have a topping off ceremony (for the office and apartments, I think) today at Noon. So hopefully some more non-paywall photos to come!

Just a wish, but the Triangle could use a replacement for the Southern Season store that closed in Chapel Hill. It would seem to me that Fenton would be a location for such a business.

Southern Season really was a destination retailer. The only 2 times I was ever in that mall parking lot was to go to SouSea. I agree, Fenton feels like it would be a good place for something similar.

I dig that it doesnât just have a flat top! However, until thereâs an American flag on top, itâs not officially topped out! Any sign of one?

Road my bike down near the new vine apartments in NH earlier today. They are moving some dirt and had a big mobile crane setting some sort of huge precast culvert looking things. Not sure if they are getting ready to build the next phase or just doing some utility work.

Hey now weâre not even at Halloween yet, no need to rush Christmas!!!
That is the Channel House luxury apartments being built beside the Vine (innovation district phase 2)
Also, construction of tower 5 (17 floors?) will commence beside this active site by the end of the year.

A life sciences/office developer agreed to develop 220k sq.ft. in Hub RTP! This will be the tallest building in the Phase 1 buildout, and the last building where a developer hasnât been named yet for this phase.
From the map on the RTF website:
EDIT: The N&O wrote about it, too, and noted that the developer is the same company behind some buildings in Durhamâs Innovation District.

I love that their vertical progress so far is a new Wells Fargo branch to replace the original one, which is getting demolishedâŚ
Just thinking about this site gets me nostalgic.
Oh the hours of my youth spent at the old Triangle Transit hub that used to be there. Riding back from Chapel Hill to Raleigh hung over from Halloween; transferring to the shuttle to go to my first job interview in RTPâŚ
It actually functioned better as a transit center than the current RTC since itâs so easy to reach it from I-40. They relocated back in like 2007 so that this area could redevelop. They would have been better off sticking around until now when the redevelopment actually seems to be moving forward.

Trees on top of completed towers are not just a Christmastime thing, though during the holidays, they are often lighted for the season.

Well that I never knew! During Sept-Oct, they should put a dead tree up top for Halloween then.

One in the same, or different times? Enquiring minds want to know.
