There are many contributing factors, but\u00a0one that is predominant\u00a0is the transformation of the Depot District, a National Register Historic District, into a lively cultural center for the city. From art galleries and museums to restaurants, bars, and more, it\u2019s truly a destination. Comprised of 35 buildings, this district is known for its unique \u201ctransportation character\u201d associated with its position to the railroad and its importance as a former industrial center of Raleigh.<\/p>\n<p>This map shows how buildings that were originally warehouses or served other industrial purposes are experiencing the highest building values today. Typically, these buildings were built of high-quality, durable materials meant to last \u2014\u00a0possibly\u00a0one of the reasons for this trend. Aside from their economic viability, these buildings are full of history and charm \u2014 qualities that are difficult to recreate. On the map, there are a few outlying properties with\u00a0very small values, which suggests the ripple effect of successful buildings fostering more successful buildings around them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>REINVENTING A HISTORIC DISTRICT IN DOWNTOWN RALEIGH \u201cTime makes certain structures obsolete for some enterprises, and they become available to others.
