I’m sure someone is working on a name to kind of “districtify” the area of South Saunders street and Lake Wheeler Road where Rockway Raleigh and The Weld are currently being built but for now, I’ll just refer to everything around here as Saunders Street.

Here’s a nice perspective I captured showing the Raleigh Union Station Bus Facility, or RUS Bus, that’s been under construction for the better part of this year. It’s not that clear from the street but from a higher vantage point, you can see the orientation of the bus station and the future location of high-rise developments. The bus station is planned to be in operation in 2025 but the site is nowhere close to being complete.
