A groundbreaking was held Thursday, but this is a project three years in the making, says Richard Kessler, CEO of The Kessler Collection.
Expect this $110 million boutique hotel to bring a little sparkle — and funk— to uptown.
Construction is officially underway on the Grand Bohemian Hotel Charlotte. Plans call for that 254-room, 15-floor hotel to open in March 2020.
The Grand Bohemian flag is part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection.
The Kessler Collection’s portfolio includes nine luxury boutique hotels, including sister properties in Asheville and Charleston, S.C.
“People really enjoy our hotels because we do something different than anything in the marketplace,” Kessler says. “In most cities we’ve been in we’ve been the No. 1 market leader.”
Another very interesting article. Calling the Apple announcement “imminent.”
We now know 100% that downtown Raleigh is the focus for Amazon. Though I won’t allow myself to get excited for Amazon, it does make me wonder if some of the projects like 400h, 301h, Edison tower, n&o lot, Exploris school, etc etc are holding the reins a little to wait and see what Amazon does? FNB tower has been the only one of the larger projects started lately. And that’s because obviously that was anchored already and at that site literally nothing larger could be built. But almost everything else has been virtually silent with even the smallest bits of further news since Amazon announced Raleigh was a finalist. I would imagine if Amazon were to choose downtown, that would change EVERYTHING.
On the flip side, if that is a reason some of these projects seem stalled, it’ll suck in hindsight when Amazon doesn’t pick us lol. Especially if they wait until end of the year to make an announcement.
Btw, does anybody have any thoughts on a deeper meaning to another amazon distribution center in Kernersville?

^ aren’t those Amazon fulfillment centers common? I feel like Concord has one.
Edit; there’s one in Charlotte, Concord and Durham:
Since 201to 2017 Raleigh gain 60,866 or 8,695.1 people per year. How is Raleigh it going to provide housing for 50,000 people if Amazon dumps over 50,000 people into Raleigh at one time. Let get real can Raleigh handle such a big project as this. You know those 50,00 will have families so let say 75,000 people move into Raleigh. That is a tall order for a city bigger than Raleigh.
It is not all about building office building, but your local schools. I can can say is if Amazon come to Raleigh housing prices will go though the roof and your local taxes will go up to pay for this growth. You are looking at 16.1% growth over a short period of time. At the present time Raleigh grew 13.1% from 2010 to 2017.

I would not wish this on anyone.
It's not 50k at one time. It's that number over a 10-15 year timeframe. Regardless, Raleigh in its current state can't handle that type of growth.

Again using one city of Wake County acting as if Raleigh city limits would have to absorb the full brunt.
The school issue would be tough since Wake County Public School System is why half the people from all over the country relocate.
It's the school system not requiring any homework as countywide all the schools are consistently good with none to avoid.
If there was high speed rail connecting the two like Norcal and SoCal. Now that’s a fun futuristic thought.
They do have train service between them that's one of the few profitable and well-maintained rail services in the country.
So popular that they have 4 round trips every day, that's intrastate serving mostly North Carolineans.
That's impressive and where all $550 million of high-speed rail money was spent on improvements.
