while I do get your point, it seems that this is a very common statement said of so many of these projects 
not necessarily by you or any specific individual, just common place occurrence in DTR IMO

I feel like there’s a lot of apologists for this project. I disagree. This was supposed to be a cool, signature project that has been diminished into a parking deck and semi-redundant bus station with theoretical eventual apartments. Not impressed, just frustrated and disappointed. And I don’t feel unjustified for this opinion.

The sky bridge was redundant and was going to be paid for with public money as I recall, so good riddance.
But still, you can definitely color me disappointed that there will be no office component. I get it, offices aren’t exactly a hot item these days, but right on top of a train station is a pretty good location for it.

Waiiiiiit… So it must still be two apartment towers if the residents will be allow in one part but construction of the rest isn’t done for another year.

Unless they plan on completing the apartment tower* first, then the bus terminal/retail component
@ahops0428 and @GucciLittlePig so are the apartments still theoretical, or are people going to be moving in in 2025 (barring standard construction delays)>
I honestly have no idea. I barely keep up with this project since it’s become so watered down that I stopped caring anymore.

On the one hand, it sucks seeing something that could have been really noteworthy get watered down so much.
On the other, it’s a downtown residential high rise in a city where you can still count those with your hands, and it activates a block that’s been a sad abandoned stretch the whole time I’ve lived here, while keeping the warehouse facades.
If it had been initially presented like this, we’d have all been pretty happy about it. Just promised too much before the price of everything shot up.

I’m just going to be philosophical about it. Nobody here can change it, whatever happens will probably be a net positive, and will be revealed in the fullnesss of time. Ohm.

Nah, I’d have complained just like I complain about every BOX ON A PARKING DECK that gets proposed endlessly in this city of boxes and parking decks.

Count your blessings that it’s not type 5 construction.

I’m with you buddy, its typical Raleigh underachieving behavior, while Charlotte is actually upgrading their transportation hub its Similar to this one, Hoffmann dropped the ball.

Underachieving and Mediocre at best, I get that Raleigh is not Charlotte but at least have good infrastructure, transit and walkable areas as well as another major sports team in the area.

And silly me just wants Glenwood to be the high street that it could be instead of Myrtle Beach. I guess that I don’t have high enough aspirations? Dumping hundreds of new residents into the Warehouse District is a win no matter how you cut it.

I don’t know if you’ve mentioned that Glenwood thought in enough threads this week

I’m on a mission and will talk about it until it’s taken seriously by this city.

Yesterday as well, it appeared they were messing with that water retention pond area towards Union Station.
