If this parking deck means them selling off the other parking lots around the area, that would be fantastic.

At the state fair, I think Howling Cow is sold by the student dairy club or a similar student organization.

I can’t remember what the rendering for this looks like, but construction is underway:

I don’t believe we’ve seen any renders yet!

They were going to release renderings, but they didn’t want you to be disappointed later.

It was going to be 38 stories, but they have reduced it to 5.

It’s like a 6 or 7 story glass thing if I remember correctly but idk if that’s public or not.

I don’t know what it’s been on other projects but it seems like the fact that the signage has “North Carolina General Assembly” rather than the whole state or Department of Education kinda gives the game away here. Maybe I’m just imputing bad intent because the legislature has been openly flouting their disregard for everyone, but hey, whatareyagonnado

Thanks for sharing…

One thing that stood out to me here is that there will not be any ground-floor retail/restaurants/private offices - disappointing as I think that could help grow this part of town and build connections between Seaboard Station and Downtown proper

That stood out to us further up in this thread too.

That’s fine, say it again!!! It’s stupid and shortsighted and doesn’t maximize density and use of the land.

Paul Coble was the mayor of the whole city and doesn’t understand the concept of “leasing”.

Or, more likely, he dances to Phil Berger’s tune and Phil actively hates Raleigh

So is the Assembly really just going to build this thing without releasing any information?

No. They only want teachers to make their every move public and online. That doesn’t apply to them.

The site is pretty active. We need pictures, people! I plan to swing by this weekend and snap some.
