Development Spotlight: Dock 1053
Originally built in 1953 the warehouse at 1053 East Whitaker Mill Road would eventually go on to become one of my favorite development projects in Raleigh. The project is deceptively large at 183,000 square feet sitting on a lot that is just under eight acres.
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.
Community Spotlight: Schenck Forest
Schenck Forest is one of my favorite outdoor spaces in Raleigh. The 245-acre teaching forest is owned and managed by NC State University.

In the fall 2022 after the success of the temporary streeteries program, the City of Raleigh made the changes permanent. Downtown tenants who face a City Street can now apply for a streetery Permit.
