Kane is a disappointment. The only developer in Raleigh with a big interest in dense construction and the competency and resources to execute it and he's still more interested in his pet neighborhood in North Hills than downtown. Not a huge fan of his architectural style either.
Kane is indeed focused on this “pet neighborhood”, which also includes the recently announced $ 1 billion NH Innovation District. He is also focused in the following areas downtown: Smokey Hollow at Peace Street, the Warehouse District, the recently announced joint venture with Merge Capital to build Park City South and of course the proposed Downtown South project. Apparently he has more than one “pet neighborhoods”.

I think the colors are a bit odd too. For some reason, it looks "unfinished."
That's a spot on way of putting it imo. "Unfinished" looking. Those prices for the upper floors too, omg. Bravo to the Uptown market for driving those kind of numbers.

Yeah, Kane’s Dillon was a benchmark development that was as important as anything built downtown last decade.
Yeah of all the people, Kane has probably been on of the most transformative and innovative in terms of driving downtown Raleigh development. His projects have spurred so much additional development in the Warehouse District and over on West Street. There wasn't really anyone else doing projects in the areas that he's focused on. It's driven so much more development downtown. To ignore that and critique him on just North Hills would be ignorant of all that he's touched.
“The poor folks in the Queen City are apocalyptic over the Triangle surging to fifth in the Milken Institute's annual rankings and Charlotte being overlooked. Axios Charlotte (the former Charlotte Agenda) wrote "obviously, this ranking is absurd." Axios Charlotte continued: "Raleigh’s consistent troll is that it isn’t Charlotte. Which brings us back to Charlotte, which maybe used to talk about Atlanta, but now really just talks about Charlotte." Hmmm — for a city that "just talks about Charlotte" that seems to be a lot of complaining about Raleigh.”

Nuff said.
Did you read the full report? If the Triangle were one MSA it wouldn't be in the top 30 since Durham/Chapel Hill comes in at a whopping 68 & the Charlotte Agenda is trying to drive clicks so what do you expect

So going with real?
Fwiw, Durham was 42nd. Without doing a deep dive into the raw data, we can use the 70/30 split between the two sides as a rough guide. So a full Triangle should safely be in the top 20, probably around Colorado Springs or Bremerton. There are definitely benefits though in these kind of things to the weak man of the Triangle being excluded from Raleigh’s rankings. Durham has made great strides, but there is something holding them back (schools being one of them, Orange County’s zero-growth policy being another).

Why bring this up? This is just pure negativity for no reason. This is a development thread not a bash thread...
