All good in-fill development. I just hope that the core commercial part would become more pedestrianized. It’s just sad when I see people eating outside and all they get to enjoy for that effort is getting their eyes blasted by the reflection of the sun off the thousands of cars surround them and not much else.

Are these still parking deck floors? If that’s the floor height for the full 7-stories, I still don’t see how that crane is tall enough! I gotta imagine the floor height goes down after the next one or two go up

Ok yes, looks like everything after that first (high) floor is about half the floor-height.

BTW, wasn’t Lambert also the developer of the ‘pit’ over off South by old Boulted location
?

Yes. Still a pit. I think the property was even recently rezoned. Still no movement.

Weird because the company selling fresh pasta under the brand name Buitoni seems to think it was founded by an Italian peasant lady in 1827, not a shady Raleigh real estate developer. I’m no detective but sure seems like someone’s not telling the truth. About - Freshly Made Italian Pasta, Sauces & Cheese

At nearly $750 a foot, and given that this isn’t some sort of building that’s loaded with amenities, it’s clearly bumping the ceiling. It will be interesting to see if this sells. I certainly don’t think that this is going to sell quickly.
That said, at least this location is walkable to a variety of community amenities and the university.
For comparison, I bought my condo downtown new (with chosen upgrades) for $232 a foot back in 2005.

I mean, those are Fairweather penthouse prices


For that kind of money, you’d think that they’d have a secured website

If you stand in the gully by the creek you can almost convince yourself it’s actually six stories

Ran down the street this fronts last night - huge, HUGE shortsighted/missed opportunity not putting any street level activation here. Just a waste of potential.
