There's a lot of amazing and exciting things coming to the Raleigh North Carolina area in 2022.
On this video, we're going to lay them all out for you and give you all the details.
Hello everyone. This is Chris Morton real estate broker with EXP Realty in Raleigh, North Carolina
and let's get started with one of those exciting things when we can't wait to see for ourselves and
that is The Parlor at Heights House Hotel. This is in downtown Raleigh in Boyland Heights district.
This was an 1860’s Italianate mansion that kind of had fallen into disrepair. It was rehabbed by
a couple starting in 2018, and it finally came online last year in 2021. The hotel’s got nine
rooms in it. It's supposedly really amazing. In fact, it's so amazing,
it was voted one of the top new hotels in the world by Travel and Leisure magazine. There
were only a hundred hotels in the world that got this designation and height's house was the only
hotel in North Carolina to receive accolades in this magazine. So the hotel’s really cool.
Just recently here in 2022, The Parlor has opened up. Well, what is the parlor? Well,
it's the bar at Heights House. It’s done in that Italianate style like the rest of the hotel is.
The bartender and manager has designed a really cool drink menu, that's all Italian influenced.
Italian drinks, Italian white wines, Italian red wines, for this parlor. It's already catching a
lot of buzz. Again, we can't wait to give it a try. So just to let you know, if you're staying
at Height's House, you can go to The Parlor anytime you want, without any issues. If you're
offsite and you're not staying there, you have to have a reservation and you're only able to
get those reservations on Sundays and Tuesdays through Thursday. So FYI on that again, we're
excited to check this place out for ourselves. We definitely recommend you do that as well.
Next up, we want to talk about Fenton. Fenton is in Cary, a super exciting
complex. It is a mixed use development. Very, very similar to North Hills that we've done
walking tour videos on. They just had their grand opening this past weekend and there's just a few
things that are open already, but as things come online and open up in Fenton, we're 100%
going to do a walking tour. We think you're going to be thrilled and excited to see this place.
It's really large for what Cary is. I mean, when you drive by it, if you've
been in Cary at any amount of time, you're kind of surprised that there's this much land. But
anyway, let me give you some details again, mixed use complex, there's office space above
on the first floor of all of the buildings. And incidentally, let me just tell you these
buildings look like they've been rehabbed, which is really cool, instead they're brand new. Anyway,
first floor there's shops and restaurants. Notable shops. William Sonoma is there,
Pottery Barn is there, a Nike Store is there, Lululemon, Altered State, on and on and on,
with some really cool stores. Restaurants they picked are amazing. M Sushi is a really, really
well known sushi restaurant in Durham. They've put a Cary location here. Crawford Brothers Steakhouse
is opening soon. Again, obviously steakhouse, It is owned by Scott Crawford who has three other
restaurants that are really well regarded in the triangle. Can't wait to try this steakhouse out.
Cru is coming. It is a wine and tapas bar that is opening up, it’s quite a few locations all over
the country. It's pizzas, cheese, artisanal cheese, obviously wine, filet mignon on the menu,
all kinds of stuff. They've got lunch, dinner and brunch on the weekends. Can't wait to try
this place out. There is a gelato place called Honeysuckle Gelato, it is already opened up.
We went again to the grand opening this weekend and the line was out the door. So we think that's
probably some good gelato and there'll be some other restaurants opening up. A taco place, all of
that sort of thing. Really, really cool. Again, I can't wait for this place to come online. It looks
amazing just from what little is opened up. Also, there is a Paragon theater that's opening up,
1st of July, I believe. It has a restaurant inside called the Agency Bar and Social. This place is
a bar and restaurant that you can go to without having to go see a movie but if you do go see a
movie, you can apparently order from your seat and they'll bring you food in from the agency. Really,
really cool. We walked by, it looked amazing. Can't wait again. I'm gushing. I can't wait
for this complex to come online. I think it's going to be a dynamite destination
for anybody in the triangle especially if you live over in the Cary, Morrisville, Apex area.
Next up, we need to tell you about Shadow Creek Estates. We've talked about this
estate neighborhood in north Raleigh on past videos, but they're finally getting underway
with construction, it's really exciting. This place is going to be probably one of the,
if not the preeminent places to live in the Raleigh triangle area.
31 home sites total, just 31 home sites. About 20 of them have already been claimed and
construction, as I said, is getting underway. Homes start at $2 million and
we're seeing things up to $4.6 million on the multiple listing service, so lots of activity.
Can't wait to report on this. As things start getting underway and under the roof.
Next up, we need to tell you about Raleigh Iron Works. This project is under construction
now. It's on Atlantic Avenue, north of downtown. Another one of those mixed use areas where you've
got office, apartment, shopping and restaurant. This is truly going to be a destination location
for this part of Raleigh. Can't wait for it to come online. Best way for you to know about it
is if you or give you a little bit of a map is if you're going towards downtown, you're going
to generally pass it. If you're at Costco on Six Forks and Wake Forest Road, it's sort of behind,
down the street and behind it. Again, a really, really cool complex. The renderings look amazing.
Can't wait for it to come online and phase one of this is coming online in the fall of 2022 in just
a few months. Next up, we need to tell you about A’Verde Cocina and Tequila Bar. This is in Cary,
sort of near Fenton. It is a collaboration between chef Tanabe, who is famous for being on Iron Chef
and the LM restaurant group, which has a ton of restaurants all over the triangle,
including a few in the North Hills complex that we talked about in a past video. Can't wait to try
this restaurant out as well. It's just now opening up. They serve lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch.
It's a Mexican restaurant, but it's a little bit of a twist on Mexican in that they are using,
heavily using, North Carolina fresh ingredients and the menu is influenced by what available
things they can get locally. So I'm really, really excited about that. And did I mention tequila bar?
Looked at the drink menu. It looks really, really cool. So this again is a brand new restaurant just
opening up. It's near Crossroads Plaza in Cary. For those of you who know where Crossroads is,
you know, a pretty good, central location. We’re going to do a video on this. We
can't wait to go visit this restaurant. We definitely recommend you visit it as well.
Next up we have the Botanical Lounge & Highgarden Rooftop Bar. This bar restaurant is by the
Hibernian Hospitality Group. It's located about a minute walking distance from the Hibernian
downtown on Glenwood South, so obviously this place is on Glenwood South. Very,
very cool from the pictures again, we're looking forward to giving it a try. It's just opened up.
It specializes in craft cocktails and small tapas style bites. There is a rooftop bar
and an indoor outdoor lounge area on the second floor. First floor as well as event space.
Again looks amazing from the pictures. Definitely something that if you happen
to be in downtown Raleigh at Glenwood South, definitely something you need to check out.
Next up is the downtown Raleigh Food Truck Rodeo. It happens June 12th and September 25th
from noon until six PM. Free admission happens on Fayetteville street in downtown Raleigh. It's
a half mile long event, ten city blocks with forty, at least forty, maybe more than forty
North Carolina food trucks. Great opportunities to go sample all these different food trucks from
everywhere. Also really, really cool, they have got a thousand seats available with tables and
chairs in the street, Fayetteville street. So you can dine. You don't have to sit walking around,
trying to eat or take your food with you to go sit in your car. You can actually sit and dine in
the middle of the street. Very cool, definitely a great event to bring family and friends to,
or you can make new friends, or if you're tired of your family, maybe you can make new family. So
thanks for watching this video. If you're planning a move either into or out of the Raleigh area,
especially into if you wanna try some of these cool things out, why would you leave?
