New Development Activity in the area

Panda Express on 401 south of 70 split

I'm curious about that "building 2", which is almost twice as large as the gas station.

 

11,000 sq ft based on the math from parking. Maybe it will be a multi-tenant building with a few shops.

 

I walked the other spaces yesterday to look at permits. The space next to the Wake Med (to the right) says "nail salon", so that matches. The next space to the right says "Restaurant take out only", would the Wing Stop be take out only? The one at White Oak has seats. The space next to Jersey Mikes doesn't have a permit posted and no work taking place.

 

Could it be a Chinese restaurant? Not really take out only but many times when you see a nail place there's a Chinese restaurant next to it.

 

I was looking into this property again and found a newer press release.

Did they break ground in September? I don't recall seeing anything about it on the Planning Board meeting minutes.

Wake Med Large Hospital west of White Oak Between Timber Dr & 70

 

Looks like it will be a 4 lane road north to south (US 70 to Timber) on that large property, with dedicated turn lanes at all the intersections. With another 4 lane road heading to the east to White Oak Road.

Looks like it will be Gregory Poole coming to Garner with their HQ.

$347M total development/investment. Largest investment by Gregory Poole in their 75 year history.

692 jobs in Garner. 1500 employees and 27 locations total.

 

Any relation to Lonnie Poole, the foundeṙ of Waste Industries?

 

I guess I accidentally nailed that one on the head.
