Blount Street Commons Breaks Ground

The exciting redevelopment of four major downtown Raleigh blocks officially began today. Though site preparation has been ongoing for months, city officials were on hand this morning to break ground. The overhaul involves a 19-acre tract bounded by Peace, Person, Lane, and Wilmington Streets in Raleigh.

Centered around 25 historic houses dating to the mid 19th century, the Blount Street Commons project will add enough new construction to form a classic neighborhood including carriage houses, row houses, stacked townhomes, garden flats, and urban lofts. There will be almost 500 condominiums, and over 100K square feet of new retail space when the project is completed.

    At least as of a couple of months ago, the Person St. side is still up in the air. It shows row houses in the drawing but it may end up being something else. I sure hope the design will allow for outdoor seating along the Peace St. shop development. And not 2 or 3 tables, I’m talking about a serious presence.
