Seaboard Station is a nearly eight-acre mixed-use development bordered by William Peace University on the east, Logan’s Nursery on the west, and the rest of Downtown Raleigh to the south. The development will include retail and restaurants at ground level, hotel space, residential units, and the possibility of including an outdoor entertainment venue. The proposed development will maintain the charm of the existing development by offering space to local retailers and tying the buildings together with a unique and vibrant streetscape. Seaboard Station will contain an alley between two buildings that can be closed off for events. The sidewalks will feature planters, trellis structures, overhead lighting, and various paving types to define intimate seating areas and create outdoor “rooms” for dining.
Stewart worked closely with the master planner, developer, and architect to begin design and permitting of the streetscape master plan and layout for the new development. Stewart is also designing and detailing the streetscape, assisting with permitting, and providing structural engineering on Block A, which includes a mixed-use building with hotel, residential units, ground-floor retail and below grade parking.
Stewart’s civil and structural engineers designed Block B, known as The Signal, which is a seven-story mixed-use building with residential units over two levels of underground parking, two courtyards, fitness center, meeting space, entertaining kitchen with wine lounge and fire place, and a game and entertainment space. The Signal is complete and open to residents.
Block C is known as The Miles, and features a seven-story residential and retail tower. Stewart provided landscape architecture on the site.
