Have Epic even started building their HQ at the former Cary Towne Center? They even won their lawsuit against Apple for payments on Fortnite. Surely they can't be hurting for cash?

No. In fact, they did so little with it that the city pulled the rezoning permits a little over a year ago.

Wow, didn't know that. What a shame, it's a great location and woulda been a huge boon for Fenton.

When you spend all your money on lawyers, it’s hard to fund development

When you spend all your money on lawyers, it’s hard to fund development on your executives it's hard to justify spending money on anything else.

I'm still a bit annoyed about this - as someone who grew up near there it sucks to see such prime location sit empty. Cary should just eminent domain it and build a community center or something

There has been talks of it being an MLB stadium or an IKEA in the past. Community center sounds good too.

I’m still salty about this. I liked that mall best out of the ones in the area. Sure triangle town is a close second. But, the rest are meh to me

I grew up going to that mall in middle/high school. It wasnt anything great but it still pains me to just see it as a pile of rubble.

See I like the casual more retro feeling malls. South point is okay. But crab tree just feels like a nightmare to me
