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: 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.
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.
Community Spotlight: Permanent Streeteries
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.
