Looking at Google Earth, PNC is 4.68 miles from this location as the pig flies.

I think gucci is talking about the PNC tower and not the arena. Cool stat though. 4.7 is a bit closer than I would have guessed.

The tower is actually 0.9 miles. Further than I would have thought.

Like the metro in general, Raleighâs downtown is positioned to sprawl.

Its all for the best, but I am a little bit sad that the Hammell drive developments have eradicated some of the last light manufacturing commercial pockets near downtown. I can think of a few around - Beryl Rd, Poole, Dupont, and Capitol. They are getting harder to come by and not exactly getting built anymore.

Is it just me or does it feel like this construction is moving super slowly?

Looks like they had a lot of site work just to get ready to build.

Grading of these mass sites always takes a bit longer than weâd like

Once I see that big drill thing go up, usually that means a boom crane is imminent, no??
I see an extremely large auger and a bunch of rebar cages so that means they are working on the building foundation. They probably need to get all the auger piles dug and poured before beginning with above ground construction (which is where the crane comes in.)
Often, the foundation work is done by a separate contractor than the above-ground stuff, so I wouldnât necessarily say the crane is imminent. Could be as soon as a few weeks from now, or sometimes there is a pause or delay between the completion of foundation work and setting up the crane.

Oh yeah, thatâs the J Davis mishmash curtain wall weâve come to expect. Still, itâs inoffensive, and I love the height there!

I love the park on the rooftop overlookingâŚthe park.

I really hope this is actually in their development plan. Iâm tired of seeing the AC units occupy the entire roof space of developments. Plus I think the city has incentives for green roofs.

Having those apartments overlooking the pool and park actually would be pretty cool.

Just drove by and saw a crane base on site.

I disagree! This is actually quite coherent and an unusual âless-is-moreâ approach for them, as I only really see a minimal color scheme and what appears to be minimal materials on the outside (glass + concrete, maybe some metal screening on the parking deck portion) from top to bottom! With J.Davis, Iâm used to seeing a brick street level, with glass and stucco siding up the next few floors, then inexplicably a blank beige concrete top floor - with flourishes of random color accents kinda barfed all over the entire building. These actually look fairly thoughtful in their design compared to what they usually do!!!

Oh no⌠it sounds like someone may need to go see a doctor if they are âbarfing random flourishesâ
