Tucked just off to the side, but not hidden away, is the newest apartment building to downtown Raleigh. Mira Raleigh brings around 280 homes to Kindley Street. Not familiar with Kindley Street? That’s because it’s basically a dead-end street off Salisbury Street. More plans for the area are in the works which could see this spot have even more development in the future.

The end is near for drivers going to and from Seaboard Station.

Seems like the only one building new office space in downtown is the state government. In this economy and with Raleigh having some of the highest work-from-home percentages in the country, make of that what you will. The block just north of the Nature Research Center, shown above, has been mostly cleared. The surface parking lot has been removed and all the trees are gone as construction of the North Carolina Education Campus is in its early stages.
