Does anyboy know what is being built at the corner of Brookside and Glascock St. downtown and if this will do wonders for increasing the property value of the homes. Sure would be nice to see the area blossom.

Here's a map of this intersection, just in case anyone isn't familiar with the area.

I've been watching this development go up as well. It's a small mixed use of retail below and condos above - looks like less than 10 condos from the rendering. I called the phone number posted on the sign and spoke with the developer - hoping to get condo pricing - about two weeks ago. He said the condos were in the process of being priced and that he would email me when they were complete. I'll post if and when he emails me. I also put a plug in for a take-out chinese restaurant and he said they were looking at some businesses like this.

There are some great little homes over that way across from Mordecai. That area does have a bit of potential with its relation to Oakwood and Peace College. I think the Blount Street project could really make this area along Person an up and coming area.

This intersection may be closer to St. Augs than it is to Peace College. The corner used to have a barber shop and other businesses until it burned down in the mid-late 90s. It does seem like they have been taking their time with this... i drive by it sometimes cutting through from Capitol to my house. Oakwood Park is being considered to be a dog park, so it could have have something to support that -- dog groomer/botique, etc. Or maybe a coffee shop for the humans they bring with them. The closest retail is the Circus burger/gas station on wake forest, and the north person area, which is a good half mile away.
Blount street will be nice, but this is project/location is just far enough away from it.

It is a different area, but I feel it will have a bleeding effect on the area. Just as Glenwood South, Boylan Heights and the Warehouse district have some direct benefits from any proposals and/or construction in those areas, I feel that Oakwood, Blount Street and Mordecai have the potential to have the same type of positive revitalization.

The dog park is a go. A woman in the neighborhood has a yahoo list that provides updates on the status. She posted yesterday
"Word on construction from Parks Planner David Shouse:
Purchase orders both fence and concrete are being submitted this
week, but it could 3 to 5 wks before work starts."
I think the dogpark will really help this development and could make a coffee shop, cafe, or combo work there. My thinking being that the dog-park will make Oakwood park more of a destination. I could be wrong on this - anyone out there know what the traffic is like at the other dog parks in Raleigh?

Do you have the link to that yahoo list?
I would have to agree with your thoughts about the dog park really being a positive factor in the development of the area.

The Dog Park will be great for the community. I always see people walking or jogging with their dogs in the morning and afternoon on Glascock. It seems to be a very active doggie area!
I just wish the buidling that is going up at the corner of Glascock and Brookside would actually start taking more shape. There doesn't seem to be any progress at all on the structure!

UPDATE TO BROOKSIDE/GLASCOCK MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT.
I got sick and tired of wondering whether the rumors were accurate or not so I called the developer.
Here's what I heard:
1. In the one story section, a Community Grocery Store is planned. It is similar in scale and product range to a Harris Teeter Express. Also, it will have a deli counter with a separate entrance.
2. An neighbor has plans to open an Internet-type Cafe at the other end of the block with openings overlooking the park. Outdoor seating is planned both on the parking lot side as well as the Park side.
3. Two offices are also possibilities but the developer implied that nothing was cast in stone. He stated they could be a Real Estate Office and a Nutritional Consulting buisiness. An Antique Store is also a possibility. All this was very loose talk.
4. Residential Units will all be two bedrooms with about 1200 sq. ft. of space. The corner unit over the park is slightly larger and a third office/bedroom could be a possibility.
5. Delays of late have been a result of material selections, particularly in the choice of a high-quality brick for the facades.
6. A new sign with additional information is planned for posting on site in the next week

I rode by here over the weekend and it doesn't look any different than it did weeks ago. Whatever the commercial equivalent to home wrap on the outside, dividing walls between units but no store front walls.
My camera isn't doing any good sitting at home, but I'm not in the take it with me habit yet.

Okay, seriously, i live within walking distance of this place, and I want it to go ahead and get done so i can get some d#E$% exercise. Plus, this place looks like crap. What's the name of the developer. Anyone know the completion date?

Here are a couple of articles on the Shoppes at Brookside. The article from the N&O has a small black and white picture. Enjoy! If this place is ever finished, it will indeed be nice.

It seems the next to last line in the April 25th N&O story on this project was a tad optimistic:
At the rate they were going in April, they could have opened *this* summer. With the change of seasons a month a way, and no windows installed as of last weekend, summer will be over before anything opens there.

He anticipates the first stores, including the grocery, will open this summer, with the entire project being completed by the end of the year.

I know. I've noticed there's not much going on there- Is it me, or are a lot projects in Raleigh just super slow-going? Is it government bureaucracy? Or financial issues on the part of the developer? Another nearby project that comes to mind is the Person Stret Plaza--I heard about that proposed redevelopment 2 1/2 years ago and did hear that something was supposed to roll this past spring since they cut down all of those trees at the apts. across from Peace's softball field (but the mini mart there is closed, so maybe that's an early sign).
