^just a reminder that there is no proposal to build to build apartments on that corner. It was a rezoning to fix what the new comp plan changed. To wit, apartments *could* be built there but the LNR site plan called for offices if I recall and the only development proposal I have seen at all was just 8 more row houses over at Peace and Person.

Good riddance to that 1 story office building. Maybe they can acquire that hideous Fidelity Bank building next door at the corner of Oberlin & Smallwood and make this project larger?

It's interesting how they say the larger office tower won't be a part of this.  However if you look on imaps/google the two structures are tied together.  Looks like a flimsy breezway connection though so probably won't be that big of a deal to separate them.

I am very interested in a rendering. Oberlin is rapidly urbanizing so I am wondering if we will get a tried and true bland but popular-by-Raleigh-standards type place, or something more street hugging and eye catching. I didn't see a number of floors was proposed but once you get past stick built there is more chance for things like huge windows and adventuresome designs.

This is the sort of cog missing from our 'apartment boom'. We have about 5 or 6 buildings left this would work for.
