State Completes Sale of Historic Heck-Andrews House as Part of Governor McCrory’s Project Phoenix Initiative | Eastern North Carolina Now

Press Release:

    Raleigh, N.C.     As part of Governor Pat McCrory's Project Phoenix initiative to return underutilized state properties to more productive and efficient use, the governor announced today that the state has completed the $1.5 million sale of the historic Heck-Andrews House in Raleigh's Blount Street District.

    "The sale of the historic Heck-Andrews House will allow this property to once again become a source of pride for downtown Raleigh and our state," said Governor McCrory. "Through Project Phoenix, we are saving taxpayers money and improving customer service to the citizens of North Carolina by ensuring underutilized property is being put to its highest and best use."

    The closing on the Heck-Andrews House follows the sale of two other historic properties over the past two weeks in downtown Raleigh: the Ashley House at 215 East North Street; and the Lamar House at 401 North Person Street.

    The sales of other properties in the Blount Street District are in various stages of closing. Offers have been accepted on the Cambridge House, the Bailey-Tucker House, the Watson House, the Worth House, the Gay House, the Andrews-Duncan House, the Coble-Helms House, the McGee House and the Heartt House.

    The sale of these homes is estimated to return $7 million to the state.

    Under Governor McCrory's leadership, North Carolina has reformed how state government occupies space for greater efficiency, productivity and cost control, not to mention the importance of state-owned assets to their surrounding areas. Project Phoenix is Governor McCrory's initiative to improve the state's occupancy of real estate across North Carolina. This initiative will take advantage of today's low interest rates and North Carolina's innovative private sector in pioneering public-private partnerships to transform government spaces across the state.


    As part of the governor's initiative, the state has listed a property on W. Peace Street in Raleigh for a long term lease agreement. Additionally, properties on Blue Ridge Road in Raleigh and the former site of the Charlotte Correctional Facility have been listed for sale.
