^That area has some floodplain difficulties that will limit development.

It could be developed as parks/open space that doubles as flood mitigation. Cannot really have many structures there, though. Houston does a lot of that along their Bayou systems. An example is here:

Happy to see some bricks going up. This is the view from Logan’s.

I can imagine another 6 story apartment building going there… Lol

One of the retail spots in the alley between the first set of apartments and the new ones being built next to Logan’s is showing signs of being fitted out. There’s a counter on one side that kind of wraps around to the front. I tried to get a picture but it was too dark.

Wondering if it’s this:
NC’s first The Yard Milkshake Bar in the new Seaboard Station development. With a grand opening projected for 2024, sweet tooth enthusiasts can expect over-the-top specialty milkshakes with over 32 flavor choices. The concept has 27 locations.

On the one hand, I adore milkshakes. On the other hand, I’m amazed people want a giant pure caloric splurge that often to make it a viable concept.
Then again, Crumbl is crushing it so what do I know?

The owners announced on their Instagram (RaleighFoodTrap) that they’re hoping to open Q1 2024.

The milkshake place would put a Crumbl cookie on top of the already monstrous milkshake - I’d eat a Crumbl cookie as an occasional treat (have even just eaten half and saved half for another time) but would never get one of those milkshakes. I agree with you - I don’t know that there is a market for 2500 calorie milkshakes.

Apparently neither do they, since their heftiest shake (a pint of brookies) clocks in at a mere 1,986 calories. But sheesh: the kids’ options average ~1,000 calories!
Tellingly, there’s an “Old School Banana Split” on the menu with 697 calories. Which tracks: seems like everything these days is 2.5X as caloric as the old school version.

No market for high calorie milkshakes? 
FWIW… I would count as three of those people! 
But I am also one of those rare persons who are not a fan of any coffee places. 
I am in solidarity as someone that cannot tell any reasonable difference between Wegmans brand and fancy single origin coffee.
And it’s probably twice, if not three times more expensive than a shake at CookOut.
Well of course, it is DTR after all! 
Judging by the comments, all anyone likes here is burgers, tacos, BBQ, milkshakes, and ice cream. The bigger and cheaper, the better. We’re gonna need to have a lot more meetup walks before this forum collapses under its own weight like a dying star.
