Corner of Wilmington and Davie Streets, future site of The Edison Apartments. The two-story brick buildings have been removed and the site is cleared for new construction.
Here’s a photo of the same corner in 2008.

Who knows, maybe with the recent revelations that The Edison office bldng will be much taller than originally planned, maybe the (abysmal) plans for a lame 6 story rectangle here will get a height boost too!
They’re starting construction. I doubt they’re going to re-do the plans at this point!
Ugh I know. I like to stay positive.
Jake,
What’s the recent news on the height of the Edison office building? I had not heard anything other than “13 stories”.
The latest Edison Offices site plan for review shows a 19-story structure (including an integrated parking deck and the 13th floor that is usually omitted), but I don’t want to raise hopes, as the plan may be related to other features of the site plan and not the actual building. As for the apartments, the only thing I can hope for is that the developers don’t get financing. I am afraid that crap is going to be built and we’ll have to look at it until we die.
