This quote fails to include any of the square footage that is Owner-Occupied in the RTP. There is something like 40 MSF of office space that is not included in the brokerage rolls. Charlotte is certainly more of an industrial hub, but the office comparison is less severe than presented below.

Cool restaurants and nightlife does not go towards your GNP. With out good office & warehouses you are limited on your inter-structure such good transportation. One fight to Europe, want get you too far in attracting investors from Europe.
Have your fun and, and the cities that product goods and services will leave you behind.

Errr, mmmm….I really hate to break it to you but Greater Raleigh's production and economic engine isn't primarily in warehouses:

The DPAC is a nice venue but I don't think the QC is hurting for live theatre between the Blumenthal Center(2,100)Knight Theater (1,100) or Ovens Auditorium (2,400) & we just happen to be home to one of world's best regarded ballet companies

Attown, Raleigh is the state capitol and should have more public funded attractions (museums) than any other city in the state (like Atlanta and many other capitol cities). Overall, the Triangle does a decent job in this area, my beef is the lack of young adult entertainment venues. No amusement parks (1 week of state fair), no large water parks, etc. Richmond has Kings Dominion, Charlotte has Carowinds, Tidewater (Williamsburg) has Busch Gardens...etc. Even Greensboro has Emerald Point. Charlotte really has ramped up in this arena with new Whitewater Park.
I'd like to see the Triangle grow in this area and Charlotte continue to ramp up it's cultural offerings.
