are there good examples of "mixed income housing" succeeding?
In Raleigh, I'd suggest the tearing down and replacement of Halifax Court with subsidized rentals and the single family Village at Pilot Mill to be one, but I don't know how many low-income units there were and are now.
There are some mixed income apartments downtown near Shaw if I'm not mistaken.
67% of the Downtown South property has been officially purchased by the developer today according to Triangle Business Journal. I'm sure the rest of the property will be purchased soon as well.
It's happening.
This is awesome! I really hope they can pull this development off. I'm still skeptical because it is suuuuper ambitious by the renderings, but having John Kane's name attached is a relief. Anyway, the sooner the better. There's nothing there right now so this is good news.
Well, it's started to happen. Anyone's guess how fast something is built. First, the powers-at-be have to agree to let the developers tap into the hotel and prepared meal tax. That's a zero-sum game with formidable opposition.

Well, with a new Raleigh City Council, and the prospect of a new election for County Commissioners, they must know something is looking right for them to proceed. These are very knowledgeable business people who aren’t going to lay out that amount of money without knowing the odds are in their favor.

There WILL be residual gentrification from Downtown South . Don’t be willfully naive.
And I’d never be a brand unto myself as a real estate agent and come on here spewing some of the nonsense folks post on here . As if they think their brand is immune . The AUDACITY .
Someone in this city should buy another city's MLS team and move it here. It worked for hockey, why not soccer.
Jim Goodnight is unmotivated trash in contrast to David Tepper, a person who cares about his city.
Yeah, all those folks working for SAS, PCC and his development company should just up and leave. Free child care be damned!! We want an empty soccer stadium!!
Who says that stadium is going to be empty? I see it as full. Most MLS stadiums are or will be. The era of Chivas USA is long gone.
We can have both. We are just too small minded and parochial to do so. Charlotte isn't and as such they succeeded.
When your biggest fan base is often out of town (or even in town) attending their kids’ soccer games on the weekends and at practice during the week, it can be a challenge to fill the stands for local pro games. A lot of these families start to lose interest as their kids age out. Not all, but a fair amount. So, to fill an MLS stadium you will need to pull from a much broader fan base. Does that exist here in the Triangle? Maybe, but it isn’t a slam dunk.
If it works in the very similar markets of Columbus and Austin, the peer markets of Charlotte and Nashville, and had worked in the smaller market of Cincinnati, why would it not work here? Are we that different?
Didn’t Cincinnati use a local downtown college stadium that had a ready-made dining and entertainment district within walking distance? I’m sure that helps. You can’t simply go by market size with an “if they build it they will come” approach. If that were true, how would you explain Chicago Fire’s #s?

So you like soccer and decide that an entire metro area is too small minded to think like you?
Gotcha.
