City Plaza
Status as of July 1, 2008
Final funding has been approved by the Raleigh City Council. The City Plaza is meant to become the new active heart of downtown. It features a central space capable of hosting every event from music, parades, markets and special events. The central space with be lined with four retail pavilions offering new food, drink and shopping opportunities in the plaza space. High tech projection, a programmable fountain, LED lighting and smart infrastructure are key elements of the plan.
On Feb. 6, 2007, the Raleigh City Council approved the schematic design of the new City Plaza in the 500 block of Fayetteville Street. The design concept seeks to create a plaza, or public gathering place, that reinforces Raleigh’s image as being one of the most livable cities in the country.
