@dtraleigh go to the Raleigh population thread to see the response that I already got from Stef Mendell. I posted it there since that’s where I posted my initial email content.
Similar to the aftermath of the Mayor’s husband touching her. The mayors not running… Crickets… Trust me, Mayor McFarlane will be missed. (Working full time for $15,000, in a city of half a million).

I keep saying it should have been split arteries at Peace still and pinch back together at Wade. Problem solved. Everyones assumes it’d have to pinch together at the RR tracks still. Sure some other buildings would need moved around and stuff but it’d lay nicely along the west edge of the State visitor parking decks with a buildable couple of blocks in between the NB and SB lanes.
I don’t know how all this works, but does anyone know how much (ish) Kane would pay in impact fees for Phase 3 alone? Any estimate on property taxes on what has been proposed? Beyond City and County property taxes, there are also property taxes on office furniture and equipment. Wake County has already proposed a 10 percent increase. We need to increase our tax base, not the rate!

Yes. This is why we need phase 3 upzoned to 40 floors.
If there’s a lot of value for Kane to get this property upzoned, perhaps the city can make a deal to have him help fund the reclaiming of Devereux Meadows park across the street? Come on Raleigh City Council, get creative! Look for the win-win.

I was hoping they could have had a similar arrangement to daylight and restore the pigeon house branch adjacent/through the Smok(e)y Hollow project.

The Smok(e)y Hollow is cracking me up! Good job holding on to the “e”, Leo!

Oh it’s just a matter of time before signs appear on the fencing that spell it “correctly”. @dtraleigh will that be enough or does it have to be on the building?

Haha, yeah. Press releases and online content can be easily changed. Let’s see what they go with when they have to put a sign up.

Ha ha. I like the “e” as well. Either way I think it is cool that they are using a historic name. I like that more than making up a new generic sounding name.
Have there been any updates since April on Kane’s proposed new tallest in downtown, I think it was on Harrington? Referenced in this article; I haven’t seen anything since. Probably dead in the water because people like Kay Crowder but I was just wondering.

I saw that the phase 2 office building was basically approved. Looks like the apartments are still under review.

I did a walk by at lunch and site prep is well under way. Bore rigs were out there and water and sewer mains being brought in. Surveyors were out staking too.
