Cool Facebook page and probably would interest many on this blog if you weren't already aware of it.

Edit: this is the old North Hills mall and Beltline under construction in 1962.

 

 

My first thought is that there are people on Ramblewood in houses built since then that complain about it being "used as an offramp".

Holy crap! I don't think that was very far out of the ground last time I drove past a month or so ago.

Last week I counted a total of 6 cranes across  Raleigh. I'm not sure but there may be others elsewhere that I haven't seen.

It has really rocketed out of the ground over the last few weeks. I haven't been able to count, from St Albans perspective, how many floors they're up to.

Did ya count the ones off Edwards Mill in between Wade Ave and Duraleigh? I forget exactly what's going up there- but there are 2 cranes. There are also 2 cranes on the JCP site of North Hills!

I did not count the ones around Wade Ave. So that would make the count 8+ cranes currently erected in the city.

Had to visit North Hills while up here.  4 cranes 2 over at North Hills original side and 2 on the other side including one for the Cardinal. 

Never noticed that shrine to Elvis at the Chuys I do know that every location has one but this one is outside LOL. 

I present to you Raleigh's 2nd downtown, 2 downtowns like little downtown Varina and downtown Fuquay in Fuquay Varina. 

drove by Midtown Exchange no vertical construction I see.

Great pics KJ! Good to see you up in my stomping ground! 
 

One thing is for certain, Raleigh - Durham is changing rapidly!!!

Nice photos. Keep up the good work.

Raleigh Iron Works signs its first office lease a tenant relocating from the CapTrust tower in North Hills.

""Wasserman, a Los Angeles-based leader in sports and entertainment marketing, is leaving its office in Kane Realty Corp.'s Captrust tower for a spot in the new Raleigh Iron Works development along Atlantic Avenue. The agency is set to move into its 14,000-square-foot space by fall 2022.  Raleigh-based Grubb Ventures and Atlanta-based Jamestown broke ground on the $150 million Phase 1 of Raleigh Iron Works early last year. The first phase features 184,000 square feet of office space, 65,000 square feet of retail space and 219 apartment units.""

The Eastern leasing has been brisk I've been told. This will bode well for Kane Realty's plan for several more residential towers in NH in the near future.

North Hills skyline is developing nicely, but can’t they build tall beyond boxes? How about some spires, domes, jagged towers?

Couldn't agree more honestly, it would be great to see some diversity. Something like Durham's University Tower would really help. Plop it in that gap between BoA and Cardinal somehow and voila. 

 

On another note, land/tree clearing now on the opposite side of St. Alban's/The Exchange Raleigh, adjacent to the Coastal Credit Union building:

Dual high rise residential towers with a shared parking platform planned for the surface lot below the Advance Auto Parts towers, rumor has it. As tall as the Eastern I wonder.

fast growing tech company moving to Advance Auto tower.

""Relay is moving to the 18th floor of Advance Auto Parts (NYSE: AAP) Tower, a 31,300-square-foot space with room for about 250 employees. Last year, Advance Auto Parts put floors 16, 17 and 18 in the new 20-story tower on the market for sublease as companies were still navigating the pandemic and the shift to remote work.  Relay, currently at 124 people (up 25 from last year), evaluated several options. Relay has developed a cloud platform that helps front-line teams better communicate and track performance using devices that are like smartphones – but without all the distracting apps. The company, which does not disclose revenue,  has seen a 645 percent growth rate over the past year, Chuang said.""

Noticed today that The Eastern signage is finally up. That is a gorgeous tower.
