So a database is only as good as the data it contains. So I think its about time I went through the site and updated projects. So as the projects are updated, I’ll list them here to indicate that the data is current.

• Convention Center    *updated anticipated date of completion
• Convention Center Hotel *updated floors and date of completion
• Quorum Center *Updated status and address

Downtown Raleigh was abuzz this weekend with Raleigh Wide Open II, a basketball tournament and a movie in Moore Square. I didn’t get a chance to get downtown until late at night, and by that time I was in full “photographing fireworks mode”. Every account that I’ve heard is that it was a great success and a great experience. So I’ll leave you all with this picture and feel free to comment with your expereiences about Raleigh Wide Open II!

Official news that the block bounded by Davie, Wilmington, Blount and Martin streets will be the site of a new project called the Edison. The Edison, being developed by Gregg Sandreuter and Cherokee Investment Partners will have two tower components (tentatively of 38 and 24 stories) and a central parking deck with 1,242 spaces. The parking deck will feature a green roof and will serve these towers and RBC plaza. The taller tower will be split between condos and hotels, while the second tower will be mostly office. It is hoped that ground breaking on the parking deck will start in October of this year and will be completed in 2009 along with RBC plaza. The towers probably wouldn’t start construction until around 2009. Additional information coming later.
