During the February 6, 2025 Design Review Commission meeting, there was a presentation (YouTube link here) related to the plans for the upcoming Red Hat Amphitheater, which should start construction this year. The video really speaks for itself and it’s a highly recommended watch.

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.

The Noble Place Townhomes are looking fresh and will soon be ready for their first tenants. Townhomes like these are a great transition from the higher density apartment buildings and I wish we saw more of them in and around downtown Raleigh.

It’s kind of crazy to watch the work taking place over at the future North Carolina Education Campus. This project is using an entire city block. To the best of my knowledge, it’s all office space which is kind of wild given the state of commercial real estate here in the year 2024. I’ll let you take that however you want.

The dust seems to have settled on Seaboard Station. Landscaping is still ongoing but the newest buildings in downtown Raleigh’s northern gateway are looking fresh, the sidewalks are clean enough to eat off of, and new retail and eats announcements are getting people excited.
