Andia's isn't the only hotly anticipated restaurant opening at the 26-acre mixed-use development. An Italian-Croation restaurant from chef Scott Crawford and a taproom from Ponysaurus Brewing are also on the roster of upcoming tenants.
The first businesses to open at Raleigh Iron Works were Wasserman Media Group and F(x) Fitness. They will soon be joined by a menswear store, Beatniks.
Raleigh Iron Works is located inside a former factory along Atlantic Avenue. The warehouse was where munitions were built during World War I and fabricated steel for buildings and monuments around the city.
The structure's steel bones date back to the late 1800s, when it was originally located in the Warehouse District in downtown. Peden Steel bought it, took it apart and moved it to Atlantic Avenue in the 1950s.
All of the steel inside the building is original – well over a century old. Instead of demolishing that history, the Grubb Ventures and Jamestown team are reviving it.
