RALEIGH, NC—The SkyHouse concept is one step closer to becoming a reality in Raleigh, NC. Novare Group, Batson-Cook Development Company, and Edison Land LLC have issued the notice to proceed for SkyHouse Raleigh, a 23-story, 320-unit multifamily community on the southwest corner of Martin and Blount streets in downtown.

SkyHouse Raleigh is the seventh SkyHouse project and comes on the heels of SkyHouse Midtown in Atlanta. SkyHouse projects are under construction in Austin, Orlando, Houston, Dallas, and Atlanta. The development team, led by Jim Borders and Novare, includes co-sponsor Batson-Cook, general contractor Batson-Cook Construction, and architectural firm Smallwood, Reynolds, Stewart, Stewart.

“We are excited about our SkyHouse start in Raleigh,” says Borders, president of Novare. “Our partnership allows the SkyHouse communities to be delivered at a competitive cost basis in urban locations where young people want to live but where tower costs can be a hurdle.”
