I don’t think anything is public yet. Or at least it hasn’t been shared here.

Ugh, classic downtown Raleigh, just a place for cranes and not people, am I right?

This will make 5 cranes in Downtown proper at one time, correct?

This one, Seaboard, Platform, Chick-fil-A Hotel, and 400H. Yep! Wonder what else will be getting started soon.

It’s looking like RUS Bus might be the next one. But probably not for a couple months after demolition and grading.

Or 320 W. South if they can stick to their ambitious permitting timeline.

maybe something akin to carriage house at 116 st marys.

Don’t get excited, seems they’re just upgrading equipment.

A few updated angles. Tower base ready to go it looks. Maybe this weekend? Also good progress on foundation work already.

Sidenote and perhaps this could be moved to general retail, but but looks like a pair of potential retail storefronts are undergoing renovation inside. Obviously a fantastic location with this development going in.
