In a unanimous vote, the Smithfield Town Council approved a request by developers of the new East River subdivision on Buffalo Road just north of Booker Dairy Road. The council approved the first phase of the subdivision which includes development of 25.5 acres out of the 67.8 acre site. A total of 40 single family homes will be built in the first phase.
Once fully constructed, East River will include nine phases and 281 single family residential lots. Electric, water and sewer service will be provided by the Town of Smithfield. The site was annexed by the Town this summer.
Before voting to approve the project, Councilman David Barbour questioned Planning Director Stephen Wensman about an overflow parking requirement. Barbour said he wanted to be clear the language in the preliminary plat conditions for the first phase and additional phases was clear that overflow parking would be properly addressed. Wensman said the preliminary plat conditions cover the overflow parking requirements.
The property is owned by Sam’s Branch of Clayton and is being developed by Reid Smith.
I think they look pretty cool. I especially like the one in the bottom pic. I do think I would like the style more of it were mixed in with downtown instead of being on its own. That is a pretty good location, but it does have the potential to be kind of an island.
Any chance they will redesign those buildings? They look hideous in my opinion
Well until they are actually built, sure there's a good chance the design will change. LOHA is no amateur design group but obviously styles are subjective as is displayed by the mixed response to the renderings. I'm not in love with it, but like it. It's very unique though for Raleigh. Even for the south in general in my opinion.

This is a good location short term and likely a golden location long-term. It's very close to Dix Park and is a main artery for BRT. Western Blvd is the biggest hinderance for it's walkability to downtown, but those neighborhoods in between are already getting more dense and built up. The connectivity to the warehouse district will flow nicely in the next decade+ I would imagine. Assuming it gets built as planned.

Divided opinions are great. Beats having more mundane 5 floor stick built block fillers.
