Raleigh-area Mall / RTP Redevelopments

Or maybe casual food at upscale prices.

$25 pimento cheese sandwich?

Perhaps I’m getting my point across.

Narrator: It won’t :slight_smile:

Man they (Limani) must have real confidence in the market down here. Their four other locations are all smaller than what this one is supposed to be. Just from googling I found this:

  • NYC - 8,000 sq feet

  • Roslyn, NY - 8,000 sq feet

  • Chestnut Hill, MA - 7,900 sq feet

  • Charlotte, NC - 7,750 sq feet

Means overpriced food, but you don’t have to wear a suit & tie to enjoy it.

My girlfriend and I ate at the Village Tavern a few times back when we were in college at UNCG, it’s one of our favorite restaurants in Greensboro to this day. I think this is a perfect description for it, considering that it is an upscale vibe, but not so upscale that you feel underdressed if you don’t have on a suit-and-tie.

I never felt out of place there, even as a broke college student. Granted, we pretty much only went on special occasions (birthday dinners, celebrations, etc). Can’t wait for the new location to open up.

Here are some pictures of 1000 Social that I took earlier.



I really like how this area is already somewhat dense in terms of the height of the surrounding buildings. There are a lot of surface lots in between each building though, which will hopefully not be the case in a few years.

Did you get a chance of Raleigh photo of the north hills innovated district

Village Tavern is a staple in Greensboro and Winston Salem. Always consistent. Raleigh is very lucky to have one. Well run establishment. Nice atmosphere, good food, not extravagant in price.

Remember, strip malls are really just big warehouses with a glass wall that the renters decorate. So if owner can kick them out and put up office and apartments it’s a huge increase in value and rent for them.

No, I didn’t sorry. I might take some tomorrow, no promises.

On the one hand, smart to make a play to keep more of your residents’ tax dollars in your county.

On the other hand, wish they’d just double down on downtown Clayton. It’s got good bones, and Main Street seems to be doing pretty well purely based on Google Maps. You’ve got a real town, you don’t need a fake one!

No, we all need fake downtowns that we can easily drive to. :wink: :roll_eyes:

Speaking of fake downtowns to drive to, the first residential portions of Hub RTP are finally starting to come out of the ground. I didn’t get a picture since I was driving, but the project’s perimeter is much more finished now. They even have a water feature (creek) in this project. The whole thing is gonna be an interesting experiment we get to watch for a number of years. Not least because it seems all of the components are waiting on a separate entity to fund, build, and activate them. I’m guessing this will be some apartments with a smoothie shop and nail salon for the next few years, but we’ll see.
