    why does the exterior flood lighting only light up the top floor? Bizarre.

    You know, I saw the construction on North Hills East today…wow. Also, the only reason that is remotely connected to this post is the fact that the CAPTRUST Tower at North Hills East is being built as part of the project. It will be 17 stories/260 feet tall.

    Why would anyone think that two hanover is an eyesore. Its one of my favorites. I love the way it looks. How could it look better?????

    Exactly, jrd. Any building that’s been Raleigh’s tallest for twenty years is one of my favorites 🙂

    I also think that Two Hanover is an interesting building. It looks like they were trying to replicate an art-deco style, however, it wasn’t executed very well. The lighting scheme on the building leaves a lot to be desired, and I really don’t like the green structure on the roof. But, all in all, I think it is an interesting building. Raleigh doesn’t have the downtown drive that Charlotte has with new buildings going up everywhere you look. So let’s just be content with what we do have. Love it or hate it, it will be part of our skyline until something bigger is built to block it out.

    Jean, the website says that employment information is “coming soon”, so for now, you may just have to call them or go there and ask about it in person. The employment information contact for them is jobs@marriottraleigh.com | Also, their main phone number is (919)-833-1120. Hope this helps 🙂

    The Yancy’s site has very quickly removed the signs and have blocked the windows with paper, indicating a new restaurant may already be moving in. Ruth’s Chris and Morton’s were in contractual discussions for the site but i have not heard anything definitive.

    Any updates?
