425 S Roxboro Development

Driving home from work today it appeared they were doing some site prep work at 425 S Roxboro where Lennar Multifamily is building a new apartment development with 350+ units. Anyone seen any news or renderings?

Yes. They're calling it the Lawson with expected date of 2021. https://lawsondurham.com/


 

We’re for apartments that go against the grain. ... We’re for making something cool in a sea of somethings bland. For embracing the fringe, pushing the boundaries, and creating community.

lol ugh. What a generic, cluttered eyesore of a superblock. Will match Bullhouse nicely.

Lol, no argument here. It's better than the current situation, but also perfectly bland.

That is all street level retail though right? If so that is a huge improvement there

Looks like they are finally getting ready to move forward with this project after a year (?) of inactivity. Some heavy equipment was out on the site today.

I hope they're starting from scratch. This building is godawful. Up there for worst in the city... what an absolute waste to put such an eyesore at the entry to downtown!
