A co-worker of mine shared the following link with me and I wish to do the same here:
Condos Expected To Lead Residential Surge To Downtown Raleigh
I would post the entire article, but there is a little copyright notice at the end which may not allow me to do so... legally. Please feel free to visit the link and share your thoughts. The story is very small and easy to read. For those who are not as familiar with DT Raleigh, the condo building in the photo is the 5-story Dawson, which is nearly completed. This project is a classic case of downscaling; it started as a 15-story tower, only to become victim of slow market
My take on the article is this: DT Raleigh is following the same patterns any other developing city is. The numbers mentioned in the article are interesting and I would like to create a little summary:
Nothing major, but the above article succeeds in introducing WRAL's audience to the core of our city and familiarize them with the on-going efforts to bring back the glorious days of DT Raleigh, when people used to live, work and play within walking distance.

- Today, more than 3000 people call DT Raleigh their home.
- About 1200 residential units are currently in the works.
- The city expects another 400 units to be built at the South End District after the current convention center gets demolished.
- City leaders project that 10,000 units will be added in the next 10 years.
