Cleveland and Detroit have tall buildings, most people don't want to be there either, lol How many people live in Charlotte because they're stuck, haha: DC on the other hand has education and culture and no skyline, people want to be there.
Charlotte: NC's Cleveland. Similar crime rate too, lol
Looks like the one here already started. By the way this pic is a week or so old. Was North Hills yesterday for dinner. They are really working that site. Just for the record
AC Hotel/Residence Inn is starting construction June 01, 2015 It was announce in Charlotte July of 2014.
Raleigh announce January 15, 2015.
Charlotte AC foundation is already there so it want takes months to dig a foundation.
The AC Hotel is in the Epicentre with the Aloft Hotel and will be across from the Ritz-Carlton and Hyatt House and near Hyatt Palace, The Omni Hotel, Hilton and Holiday Inn, Courtyard, Marriott and Dunhill Hotel.

"Businessweek.com spent months working with data that would help us to identify the best cities in the U.S. We looked at a range of positive metrics around quality of life, counted up restaurants, evaluated school scores, and considered the number of colleges and pro sports teams. All these factors and more add up to a city that would seem to offer it all. When we began the process we had no idea which cities would come out on top. The winner? Raleigh, N.C. To most residents of Raleigh, it may not come as a surprise that their city earned the title of America’s Best City. Raleigh shows the cultural graces that go along with anchoring the so-called Research Triangle, home to North Carolina State University, Duke University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Among its many attributes the city sports 867 restaurants, 110 bars, and 51 museums, according to Onboard Informatics, as well as a thriving social scene, good schools, and 12,512 park acres, equal to several times the green space per capita in cities like New York and Los Angeles, according to the Trust for Public Land. It also offers a great deal on nights and weekends—from concerts and opera, to the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes and college sports, to the 30,000-square-foot State Farmers Market."
Cheer up Charlotte, like Cleveland and Detroit, you have some tall buildings

June &with the base already in place it shouldn't take long to build.

But DC has density. Madrid also has few skyscrapers but huge density. New Orleans has huge density of lowrises. But Rakeigh has neither skyline nor density.
You squawk about downtown Raleigh being big, just to turn around and say size doesn't matter, which I agree with.
Triangle is the same size difference of the Triad as it is to Charlotte. Triangle is no closer to Charlotte than it is bigger than the Triad.
So by your logic, the Triad & Triangle are the same size.
Once downtown Raleigh gets that low rise density like DC or New Orleans or Phoenix or Baltimore, then you're more than welcome to tell all about downtown Rakeigh.
I'm not sure why you're hating on Detroit. I like Detroit.
Raleigh & CLT combined doesn't hold a candle to Detroit. Even Raleigh is extremely bland compared to Detroit.
Another great thing about Raleigh, is if you ever get tire of the plethora of cultural and culinary options in the Capital City a short drive down the road and you can be in Durham, Chapel Hill and Carrboro. Other cities and towns that have their own cool, hip vibe.
When one gets tired of culture free and character free uptown one can always drive out in the red counties that make up the entire Charlotte metro outside of Meck. Gastonia and Rock Hill aren't far away I guess, don't know what you would do there though….oh, and there's a them park on the SC border. Unfortunately one can only go there in the warm months

Raleigh population density: 3,023.4/sq mi
Charlotte population density: 2,663.2/sq mi
LOL. Raleigh is now being compared to DC. This is hilarious. Whenever you put up the stats, Durham's suburb to the East gets heated. I see riding along on the Durham MSA coattails is still going strong. Post all the articles and lists that you want, all that tells me is that Raleigh has to be one of the most over-hyped places in the nation. Reading the comments on those articles and you will come up with a list of most used words: Boring, generic, overrated, bland. I stayed at the downtown Marriott(because it was one of the only options) last year. I seriously questioned if I were missing something, nope.
Raleigh is only so lucky to have Durham and Chapel hill so close. They hold the Triangle up. Hell, even Buzzfeed agrees the capital should be in Charlotte. Check out number 10! How embarrassing!
An AC hotel? They are building 30 right now across the US and Latin America. Is that what gets people excited in Raleigh? So Raleigh's will be finished first you say? LOL will there be a press conference? The one in Charlotte will be taller and larger, and Downtown. How about a Ritz-Carlton up in Raleigh? Oh wait.
