A project years in the works \u2014 the initial rezoning case was filed in 2010 \u2014 is finally coming to fruition, as permits were issued January 29 for a new 3,844 square foot BB&T Bank branch.<\/p>\n

\"bbt\"<\/a>The bank will be constructed on an empty parcel of land at the intersection of Falls of Neuse and Litchford Road in North Raleigh. BB & T purchased the property in June of 2013 for $1.5 million. In February of that year, the rather nice-looking home that once sat on the parcel was demolished.<\/p>\n

The aforementioned zoning case changed the use of the land from residential to office and institutional 1, paving the way for the new bank branch. In the application, a wide number of uses for the property were barred, including a rifle range, a fraternity and a kennel\/cattery. Cattery? Are those … real? And are they hiring? To be honest though, any of those uses sounds more interesting than yet another bank branch. My dad would probably agree<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although it was the then-property owners who filed the initial zoning case, it was BB&T which filed the site plan two years later. The site plan described a slightly smaller build-out at 3,200 feet, and noted that it would include, as most banks do, a drive-through.<\/p>\n

The new, $725,000 bank will be built by Ashland Construction, which, among other projects, handled the construction of the Harris Teeter at North Hills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
