(and a few of High Point University which just looks incredible) This building has incredible handrails in it. There's two divided showrooms, one lighter and one darker in color scheme. They both have ultra tight twist helix stairs with glass railing. Those lead up a few levels where it combines into a much wider monumental helical stair with a very elaborate metal rail. Stunning design. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DCB Posted July 6, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 I really feel like downtown High Point is weirdly cursed by having the Furniture Market. On one hand it keeps everything occupied and maintained as furniture showrooms , but on the other it means there's almost no space for restaurants and stores. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poo Diddy Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 DCB - you nailed it. Hopefully the new baseball stadium, food hall, Ziggys Space, etc will help to kickstart activity. Downtown High Point has the feel DT Greensboro did 20+ years ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe with the new job growth in the region with Boom Supersonic and others including the Toyota battery plant more residential will come downtown that would be the most important thing and everything else will follow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a couple small apartment buildings being built right now. There are plans for a hotel which should also be helpful. The food hall will also help... Basically pieces are starting to come together. 10 more years could see the north side of downtown looking very different. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KJHburg Posted September 7, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 Not quite downtown yet but with High Point University's growth maybe soon. Look at these stats from 2005 to 2021 in just 16 years this university has become a major force in higher education in the Triad. Their campus is just beautiful and its growth is changing HP for the better. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever since Horigan's went under I've been hoping for a self-serve beer place (something more low-key than ROAR at least). The name had me suspecting this might be their plan and I'm glad its confirmed! And this place is less than 10 min from me (vs 20-25 to Horigan's and ROAR).
