As this is something that has to be done manually on a project-by-project basis, only a few have been linked up so far. Believe me, it was time-consuming enough just getting the map together.<\/p>\n<p>Credit where it&#8217;s due: although I&#8217;ve considered adding more maps to the site for some time, it was a meeting of the minds with William N. Finley IV, publisher of our fiercest competitor <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itbinsider.com\">ITBInsider<\/a> that helped bring this to fruition. Another shout-out to longtime friend of The Record Matthew Frazier, who showed me how to limit the data geographically.<\/p>\n<p>So here&#8217;s an initial version of the map.\u00a0Temporarily, you will be able to distinguish all the projects that link back to an article because I assigned the little flame\/fire icon to all of them. Feedback and suggestions are welcome and appreciated! I hand-picked the icons from a limited selection, which is why some of them are weird. Still trying to figure out how to make a legend for them.<\/p>\n<p>This and future maps will have a permanent home on <a href=\"http:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/maps\/\">this page<\/a>. This map will be updated on a weekly basis, so be sure to check back!<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/fusiontables\/embedviz?q=select+col3+from+1m8_ZlE31CMQYtLmLXuMgVZeuzsJUznJPPH0JpbTO&amp;viz=MAP&amp;h=false&amp;lat=35.82281809398639&amp;lng=-78.63742938867188&amp;t=1&amp;z=11&amp;l=col3&amp;y=2&amp;tmplt=2&amp;hml=ONE_COL_LAT_LNG\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Enough about the map, though. We&#8217;ve got three new building projects to look at! Sort of.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s knock Green Elementary out of the way first, since this is a reissue of a permit initially granted way back in 2014. Honestly I have no idea why this permit was reissued; it looked pretty much done when I drove by the other day (disclaimer: there&#8217;s a possibility I was looking at the wrong site on the right road) and by all accounts it should be ready to open in August.<\/p>\n<p>They even made a video about it. I\u00a0had no interest in watching it, but hey, it&#8217;s there if you want it.<br \/>\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Sb6Eh0XzoOc\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nWhen we first reported on this back in November 2014, the demolition of the old school was underway. I more or less wandered onto the active construction site and started taking pictures. It was pretty fun. There&#8217;s a gallery of pictures at the bottom of <a href=\"http:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/news\/2014\/11\/17\/development-beat-demolition-begins-on-former-elementary-school\/\">the old write-up.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The new facility, which will function as a magnet school, will come in at 95,930 square feet and was designed by Moseley Architects. It will feature lower, upper and main levels, each dedicated to different programs.<\/p>\n<p>Among the changes it will usher in are an improved carpool lane, a new multipurpose space and more modern classrooms.<\/p>\n<p>Next up, we&#8217;ve got the Foxwoods Apartments in North Raleigh, for which nine\u00a0retaining wall permits were issued to Sitescapes, LLC.\u00a0Retaining walls are generally one of the final phases in the sitework process.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_92592\"  class=\"wp-caption module image aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 771px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-92592\" src=\"http:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/foxwooodsbetterrendering-771x285.jpg\" alt=\"A rendering of the Foxwood Luxury Apartments\" width=\"771\" height=\"285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/foxwooodsbetterrendering-771x285.jpg 771w, https:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/foxwooodsbetterrendering-336x124.jpg 336w, https:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/foxwooodsbetterrendering-768x284.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/foxwooodsbetterrendering.jpg 851w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 771px) 100vw, 771px\" \/><p class=\"wp-media-credit\">Foxwood Luxury Apartments<\/p><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">A rendering of the Foxwood Luxury Apartments<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Fortunately, the developers already have a website up and running for the place, so we&#8217;re able to share a little bit about what the complex will offer:<\/p>\n<p id=\"u111-2\"><strong>Community Amenities<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul id=\"u111-11\" class=\"list0 nls-None\">\n<li>24-Hour Fitness Center<\/li>\n<li>Grilling Station &amp; Outdoor Fireplace<\/li>\n<li>Resort-Style Pool<\/li>\n<li>Garage\/Carports<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"u112-2\"><strong>Apartment Amenities<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul id=\"u112-13\" class=\"list0 nls-None\">\n<li>High Ceilings<\/li>\n<li>Walk-In Closets<\/li>\n<li>Gourmet Kitchen<\/li>\n<li>In-suite Washer\/Dryer<\/li>\n<li>Hardwood Floors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sounds pretty nice.
