Wow, not bad at all. Paint pays.

I suspect weâll see a rezoning request come in on this plot and maybe assembled with the other, though it doesnât really need to be (assembled).

Iâm going to speak against it. Itâll block my view of the Fairweather from where I usually am hanging out.

The tiny building next to The Fairweather has submitted to rezone from DX-5 to DX-20.

Hoping they build an identical building to the Fairweather, except 20 stories tall. They will call it the Fairestweather (of Them All). It will be for exceptionally, innovatively elevated living.

I have honestly been waiting for this to happen. But I was expecting a DX-12 zoning request. The discussions of those on the FW northside should be interesting. Welcome to DT living. We arenât in the burbs anymore, Dorothy.

I spoke to somebody in the building that has a unit on that inside L and they werenât surprised. Iâm sure some will be.

It would seem to me that this small property will likely be assembled with the adjacent properties for a more substantial project. One would think that the developer wouldnât want their project crammed into that inside L as much as The Fairweather wouldnât want it. A worst case scenario would be any new building shoving a garage into that corner such that terraces open onto parked cars staring them in the face. Again, this is why I have always chosen condos that face a street like you did.

To be honest, even if 520 S Harrington is developed at its current zoning of DX-5, it will still impact the view of those on the north side. I would have bought on any side of the FW building except for the north side. I could see what was coming. Hopefully the rest of the neighbors thought about that too. And I am with you @John - the street is a much better view than the backside of a building (or a parking garage).

As reported by @svp via text, I think we now have a record price per sqf for ITB condo sales (or any sales for that matter). A 1 bedroom in our building closed yesterday at $601/sqf.
ps, we need more condos downtown!

Yeah, when I said developers needed concrete numbers to justify building Austin/Nashville/Atlanta caliber downtown condo towers, this is what I meant. Time to make it happen.

Exactly. Peace Condos have done really well too. We need a new 20+ condominium build or two around town.

Iâd LOVE to see the Nash condo project spring back up with the Nexus block. That would help and probably one of our largest condo towers if not the largest in DTR.

Durham has multiple condo buildings going up asking in the $7-900/sf range, and it seems like they popped up before existing units reached anywhere near that price. Lots are already pending. I donât understand why Raleigh doesnât already have these too.

Raleigh seems to be on the million dollar townhouse kick.

EXACTLY!!! Durham is way ahead on the condos. I wish more developers would step up and do some condos.

Looks nice, but I donât blame them for moving. The people they let into that Fairweather buildingâŠtheyâre the worst.
