S. Saunders Planned For South Saunders
A new mixed-use development, including a hotel, residential units, restaurants, retail, and office space could be coming to South Saunders, near the edge of Dix Park. Five Horizons, who recently completed the 10Arros project on New Bern Ave, submitted a rezoning application for a new project named S. Saunders.
The development would be located on a 9.15 acre property bounded by South Saunders Street, South Dawson/McDowell Street and Rocky Branch Creek.
The property would be a mix of industrial warehouse conversions and new buildings ranging from 12 to 20 stories that would feature retail, high-density residential, and a public event space.
According to the rezoning application, “The Southern Gateway Corridor Study, led by the Raleigh Urban Design Center, highlights the site as a prime opportunity to create a ‘maker’/tech start-up district.”
The plans note that the site will be oriented to maximize walkability for pedestrians. The development “incorporates the greenway and creek into the overall design to promote natural resources protection, as well as pedestrian access to the creek and greenway.”

Plans Filed For Hotel Next To Nash Square
A nine-story hotel and restaurant could soon be coming across from Nash Square. The Raymond Management Company, a developer based out of Wisconsin, filed plans with the City for what is currently being called The Nash Square Hotel.
According to the plans, the 196,337 square-foot building would stand 112′ tall, offer 190 hotel rooms, and a restaurant on one of the hotel’s upper floors.
The project would be developed at the intersection of West Martin and South Dawson across six separate parcels of land, which are home to a total of 11,940 square feet of existing buildings. The most well-known of these is the Nash Square Building at 227 West Martin. Built in 1970, the two-story brick office building will be torn down.
