One of the things that get me excited just as much as new shiny towers is when downtown spaces are reused in a creative way, especially the smaller buildings. Reusing a building before demolishing and building new, especially with so many lots available, will not grow our downtown at all.
The Alfred Williams Company gets a big Cheers! for its work on their building at 410 South Salisbury Street. The completed project is shown above with the previous building state shown below. (picture taken in January 2011)
The 143-year old company started in downtown Raleigh and is now back in town with it’s 50 strong workforce. The company works on the second floor of the building with hopes to lease out the ground floor.

What an improvement! I love that dark hardwood part.
very nice improvement. Now they need to tear the ugly parking deck down next to it and build a signature high rise (greater than 35 stories) in the empty lot to it’s right
Definitely and improvement. I look forward to a ground floor tenant.
The wooden accent is really gorgeous!
This makes me so happy! It was definitely one of the ugliest buildings downtown. Now it looks so fresh!
Great to see this transformation. I remember thinking how ugly that building was when I moved here in 2010.
