Raleigh newbie here. Curious what used to be in the retail space next to O2 Fitness? I was walking by yesterday and noticed quite a few “Triangle’s Best” stickers from Indyweek on the vacant storefront.

The one @Seaboard? If so, that may have been Seaboard Wine.

Slightly off topic here I suppose, but are they definitely doing Block C before the Block A hotel at Seaboard?

Unless something changes yes. Apartments are more or less a sure thing and hotels are in the can

I was hoping the HGI project was a sign of them popping back, if only because the hotel is the most visible aspect of that development from outside Seaboard. Still, Block C is good, I ain’t looking that gift horse in the mouth.

The economics of building a new hotel are complicated (and interesting!) but I think the HGI developer is an owner/operator whereas Hoffman is just a developer that would need to engage a separate hotelier (maybe one they have under contract but there’s still more moving pieces).
Hotels will probably be back in the medium term, although I don’t think business travel will ever fully rebound. Then again if I knew it all I’d be making more money.

This has the potential to be linked with whatever happens with the eventual, (supposedly pending) S-line purchase.

Are those solar panels on the overhang?

I’m nearly certain Logans had a sign out front for a long time indicating they have solar through NC Solar Now (remember it cause that is where we got our panels from too). That’s a big array though if all of those are panels!
