The apartments over at The Alexan are starting to get some clothes on. The brick exterior is starting to be put in place at, what will be, Glenwood South’s newest apartment building. The approximately 180 homes here will keep adding to what is likely the densest residential area in the city.

It’s not exactly a breathtaking view from the street but the Raleigh Union Station bus facility has most of the first floor poured out.

The Alexan apartments, with homes facing West Street and Harrington Streets, look to be almost topped out. You can really get a sense of the change this new building adds to these streets, change that was once a surface parking lot with narrow sidewalks. No more.
