After more than a decade of delays, lawsuits and a stalled crane that became a symbol of Hillsborough Street dysfunction, the long-frozen site at 2510 Hillsborough St. is being redeveloped. New owner CityPlat is transforming the property into a mixed-use commercial building across from N.C. State University.<\/p>\n

FULL STORY: After a decade of delays, downtown Raleigh\u2019s \u2018crane lot\u2019 is finally moving ahead<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

Here are key takeaways:<\/p>\n

CityPlat is building a 7,800-square-foot commercial building for retail, restaurant, bar, event and office use, reusing the existing concrete frame that sat unfinished for years.<\/p>\n

Construction is expected to finish this winter, according to CityPlat principal Patrick C. Moore, with most work happening inside the building.<\/p>\n

The site\u2019s troubles began in 2014 when developer Hillsborough Lofts planned a seven-story student apartment project. A 2017 arbitration ruling blamed the developer for delays, and the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy soon after.<\/p>\n

CityPlat bought the property in 2021 for about $1.25 million and later secured rezoning for a five-story building after exploring hotel and student housing concepts.<\/p>\n

Two tenants have already signed on, including national sportswear retailer Rally House and an undisclosed national food and beverage operator.<\/p>\n
