Garner Industrial Park is expecting heavy demand. This demand is driving up prices for industrial space. Phase I plans for Eagle Crest Park will provide over 353,000 square feet in the two initial buildings. RWN Real Estate Partners Llc., based in New York along with Bagwell Properties Inc. (Raleigh) are targeting the fall of 2022 to wrap up Phase I. Bagwell has been sitting on this property since approximately the turn of the century. Located at 4100 and 4300 Auburn Church Road in Garner the industrial park is comprised of 93.8 acres. Our friends at Foundry Commercial will handle the leasing. Further phases are being discussed now. Industrial developers have been hard at work as this category of commercial real estate continues to flourish.
Rest easy NC State fans as the iconic Player’s Retreat Sports Bar is reopening! Gus Gusler, owner, shut it down at the very start of the pandemic… March 2020. Spending most of the pandemic at the coast, Gus has returned and intends to reopen the legendary diner/sports bar with some restrictions to protect diners and staff. Indicating that the early results have been outstanding, Gus hopes that his policy of indoor dining for vaccinated patrons and outdoor dining for those not vaccinated will allow him to feed everyone! While prices have had to increase slightly due to the new economy we find ourselves in, diners have been pouring back through the doors! Welcome back, Gus! Raleigh residents are thrilled! Go catch the Wolf Pack on one of the tvs and grab a bite.
