Raleigh, N.C. — Raleigh City Council voted unanimously Tuesday on a revision for a planned Hillsborough Street apartment building. 

Developers initially wanted to build the Stanhope project, at Hillsborough and Concord streets, to 86 feet and seven stories high. In a concession to neighborhood opposition, they reduced the height to 79 feet and five stories to get the council approval.

The building is part of a three-section Master Plan for the area, and it would be on the same visual level as the 74-foot Kerr Drugs building proposed for Hillsborough Street and Friendly Drive.

Thank you, nothing short of a landfill could make this section of Hillsborough Street look any worse than it already does! If a developer wants to invest in this eyesore, the city should sign off!

blowntaco - couldn't be more wrong. To be considered a "high rise" a building must be a minimum of 75' feet tall.

A true high rise is a minimun of 12 stories irrespective of height. Just a little note..... blowntaco
