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: 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.
Development Spotlight: Smoky Hollow Amenity Space
If you are ever near 421 North Harrington Street, the office building at Smoky Hollow Phase II, take a few minutes to explore the second floor amenity space.
421 N. Harrington St is a nine story Class A office building with 225,000 rentable square feet of space. The building is eight stories of office on top of the ground floor level which includes retail and the office lobby.
Construction Update: Downtown Cary
While Cary has been on the same growth trajectory as the rest of the Triangle, historically most of that growth has happened in the suburban areas of Town. Over the last few years, however, the Downtown core has seen an exciting number of new projects delivered and currently under construction. On a recent fall day (October 12, 2022) I took a stroll through downtown after parking my car at the new Town of Cary Library Parking Deck. If you haven’t been recently, I highly recommend heading to check out what’s happening in Downtown Cary for yourself.
How To: Go on a Photo Walk
You would have a hard time convincing me that there is a better way to truly experience a place than from the street level at human speed.
On Sunday October 23, 2022 I had the chance to do just that as I explored West Street in Raleigh as part of the Fall DTRaleigh Photo Walk.
Construction Update: Glen Lennox
Earlier this summer I had the chance to check out some of the recent redevelopment happening at Glen Lennox in Chapel Hill. Grubb Properties has completed two projects and is in progress on a third.
Construction Update: Saint Albans Corridor Development
The area along 440 from Six Forks Road and Wake Forest Road currently has more active development than any other area during my time here in the Triangle. There are eight major projects led by four different development teams, and at the time of this writing, four tower cranes.
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.
Community Spotlight: Duke Gardens
The Sarah P. Duke Gardens are located in the heart of the Duke University Campus in Durham, but they feel like a world away.
