The Paramount

Locat­ed at the North­ern edge of the Glen­wood South Neigh­bor­hood in Raleigh, North Car­oli­na, this infill high-rise con­do­mini­um tow­er was one of the first of its kind in Raleigh’s fledg­ling hous­ing boom. The 10-sto­ry brick, stuc­co and glass struc­ture con­tains a 4‑story park­ing deck with 82 liv­ing units above. The build­ing steps down the slop­ing site to address its adja­cent low and mid-rise neigh­bors while pro­vid­ing expan­sive views of the down­town sky­line. The sig­na­ture ele­va­tor tow­er ris­es above the roof with its lob­bies fac­ing the street and uti­liz­ing col­ored glaz­ing to cre­ate a bea­con at night. Ameni­ties include a fifth-floor pool ter­race with adja­cent fit­ness and lounge areas. These ele­ments serve to com­ple­ment each oth­er to cre­ate a sophis­ti­cat­ed, urban build­ing that fills in the block and ani­mates the streetscape of a devel­op­ing neigh­bor­hood.
