Raleigh Renaissance

So I figured if I couldn’t find the time to post about one of the biggest potential non-government sponsored projects in downtown Raleigh’s history, then I probably wouldn’t be able to find the time to post for anything. So the parcel formerly known as Progress North and currently known as The Edison is going to be upsized (I’m not sure if upsized is a real word or not, I’ve never really needed to use it in describing a project in Raleigh ) So the original plans called for a ~38 story tower and a ~24 story tower and a central parking deck. The New plans call for each of those towers to have twins, giving the block 2  39 story towrs and 2 29 story towers. These tower would contain offices, residential, hotel and ground level retail (how is that for mixed use!) The towers will be built in phases between 2010 and 2018, with the first possibly being completed in ‘12. It looks as though RBC’s reign at the top of Raleigh’s skyline will be a short one!
