Too bad they're still like "located in the warehouse district!!!" while removing over half the remaining warehouses. Call it something else for your schtick fellas. Depot district? Downtown west? I dunno, but stop.

Union District would be good since it will be the heart of the district anyways and there's hardly any warehouse to begin with.

The Transportation  District might work, but we all know that the name "Warehouse District" has a certain urban attractiveness than many urban sophisticates like.

It looks like this plan calls for 8 bus stops. I'm a little confused. Is this facility meant to replace Moore Square Station? Be a companion to Moore Square Station? I certainly understand the desire to get multimodal, but it doesn't seem like 8 bays in an area where the streets are narrow and tight is the best idea for _the_ bus hub, if the answer is the former. If the answer is the latter, are we going to have criticism about the "lack of focus" with the bus plan? Are there going to be complaints about bias with the routes/connections?

This will be the GoTriangle bus station designed to service GoTriangle buses (think InterCity service). The GoRaleigh Bus Station is a separate station designed to service GoRaleigh buses (think Raleigh only buses).

Any idea if the southern West street extension is part of this plan? If so, that would help some Ithink.

The residential tower is being updated and will have as many as 405 apartments and will be 435 feet. The hotel will get a slight decrease in height and will be under 200 feet.  The highest occupied floor will be the 34th floor. 

 

If this is the final design this project will be the second tallest building in Raleigh. However if you consider only roof height, this will be the tallest building in Raleigh with a roof height of 435 feet compared to PNC Plaza's 427 feet and Two Hannover's 431 feet.
