I had some time to kill a few weeks ago, and was in the area so I stopped by since I hadn't been there in easily 3-4 years. How depressing is that mall?
I think if it weren't for D&B that mall would have closed years ago.
Well the sooner it is gone the better. Dead malls really depress an area. E. Maynard has been downhill since Lowes moved to Crossroads. Major retail in Cary is going to be along the 540 exits. Mixed use or just upscale living is the fit for the CTC site. Especially unseen foreign backed investors do not mind setting on properties. It is on the Town of Cary not to let that happen.
I'm confused, there's currently a Lowe's at Maynard and Chapel Hill Road.
The other intersection of Maynard and Chapel Hill Road.
The old location was at NE Maynard and Chapel Hill. They later moved out to Walnut Street and then built another location at NW Maynard and Chapel Hill.
The original one at NE Maynard was from around the mid-'80s (I'm guessing) and much smaller than modern Lowe's stores. In fact, I believe it was an existing building from the '70s that Lowe's purchased and expanded.

That old store was definitely Lowe’s old model with much more of an outdoor lumber yard. I had shopped there in the early 90s as well as probably every other hardware/lumber yard in the area. It closed and the place was a storage facility for a while until Precision Walls bought it and moved from Beryl Rd about 15 years ago.

I lived just around the corner from there and went there often. It involved at least three people to buy a 2x4. You had to go to the desk in the back, and get the attention of the guys working there, that were used to dealing with contractors. After they entered your request for a 2x4 into the system, they printed out a multi-copy copy order. They kept one copy and you took the other two to the front to pay. Then, you had to drive around back (and again track down someone), who kept one of the copies, then went in the back to get your 2x4. You got whatever one they picked out. I had recently moved here from Atlanta, where Home Depot had just opened its first store. I could see the future for Lowes. Lucky for them, they did make the change.

Ahhh fascinating, never knew that. Would rep you again for the knowledge drop if I could.
It is a development zoning plane. But a complete overhaul of all of the property (except Dillards and the gas station on the corner)
Edit: Up to: 1.2M sqft of office, 1800 residence units, 360k sqft commercial, 300 hotel rooms
