Tenant Spotlight: East Coast Electric Speed Shop
Raleigh has many great local bike shops including Oak City Cycling, All-Star Bike Shops, and Cycle Logic, but until recently we had no e-bike shops. That all changed at the beginning of the year.
Tenant Spotlight
Tenant Spotlight: Longleaf Swine
There are few things I love more than seeing an old building in Raleigh made anew. The new Longleaf Swine restaurant at 300 E Edenton St, Raleigh is a great example of this type of transformation.
Tenant Spotlight: Fiction Coffee
Fiction Coffee is on the ground floor of the new Crabtree Terrace office building near the northwest corner of Creedmoor Road and Glenwood Avenue. The shop is on the ground floor, below Spaces, tucked away from the street.
Tenant Spotlight: Char-Grill
As one of the more famous Raleigh Establishments, a lot has been said about Char-Grill. Recently a coworker came to town and said they were going to Char-Grill for lunch. Given that I had never been before, I asked if I could tag along. A few days later I found myself walking up to the original location on Hillsborough street for my first time. Here are five takeaways from the experience.
Tenant Spotlight: Little Blue Bakehouse
On August 22, 2022 Allison and Carl Vick opened the Little Blue Bakehouse at 2116-H New Bern Avenue. The Bakehouse is a first of its kind incubator for treat making entrepreneurs here in Raleigh.
The store is five shops in one with shared retail space in front and shared production space in the back.
Tenant Spotlight: A Place At The Table
Some restaurants have lines of people waiting out front for the doors to open during their initial first weeks as “foodies” attempt to be the first of their friends to say they have tried the new spot. But, as I sat in my car at 7:55AM on a recent Wednesday, I wondered, how many restaurants have a line at the door four and a half years after opening? It was clear that A Place At The Table is one of those places.
Tenant Spotlight: Brookside Bodega
A few weeks ago I had a chance to go over to Brookside Bodega for lunch. I hadn’t been to the Brookside Plaza in a few years, so I was excited to see the changes.
Tenant Spotlight: Boulted Bread
Boulted bread has been slinging delicious breads and pastries from their ovens and custom stone ground mill in their storefront at 614 West South Street in Downtown Raleigh since 2014. They have made a lot of use and a lot of bread out of that space in the last 8 years, but soon, they will be on the move.
Tenant Spotlight: Woke Living Coffee
The barriers to entry for commercial real estate (both on the developer and tenant side) are high and seem to be getting higher. So, whenever I see a creative real estate solution that lowers those barriers, I get really excited.
Tenant Spotlight: C-MAC Gallery
As average rents increase in Raleigh, unless smaller commercial spaces get built, financial barriers to entry only go up. But there may be a different option.
