Kane Realty Corporation’s North Hills Innovation District is welcoming seven new micro-retail concepts to its 33-acre development in midtown.

These artisanal storefronts will feature a wide variety of retail + service opportunities in a smaller footprint in Makers Alley, a hub for hyperlocal biz, and Tower 5, one of two high-rise office buildings.

With micro-retail businesses slated to begin opening this spring, these storefronts will range from 350- to 900-sqft and promise to be a unique shopping experience for Raleighites.

“In celebrating diversity and creativity, we believe that these locally-owned businesses, led by talented women and minorities, will not only enrich NHID but also contribute to the unique and inclusive community we aim to foster,” said Stacey Buescher, Managing Director of Operations for Kane Realty Corporation.

Once complete, the NHID will have two high-rise office towers, four residential buildings, 60,000 sqft of retail space, and two standalone food + bev concepts, including Standard Beer + Food and The Pumphouse.

❄️ Get in the snow know

Staying safe from winter weather in Raleigh

Two cold fronts are passing through the country right now, causing freezing temps and brisk winds to whip through Raleigh, according to The News & Observer.

Over the weekend, keep warm while another system blows through our area — Saturday + Sunday will top off with temps just above freezing.

We are highlighting a few of the CDC’s tips on how to stay safe in the cold.
  • Always keep at least a three-day supply of nonperishable food in your home.
  • Keep fresh batteries on hand for weather radios and flashlights.
  • Dress warmly — wear multiple layers of thin clothing instead of a single layer of thick clothing.
  • Properly vent kerosene heaters + ensure any electric generators are operated outside and away from open windows or doors to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
  • Never burn charcoal indoors.
  • If you plan on using a fireplace, wood stove, or kerosene heater, install a smoke detector and a battery-operated carbon monoxide detector near the area to be heated (test them monthly and replace batteries twice a year).

From the editor
With cold temps approaching, remember that if it’s too cold for you, it’s too cold for your pets, too. SPCA Wake encourages pet owners to properly house + protect furry friends from the cold.

One pro tip I always follow is to knock on the hood of my car before starting to scare off any animals potentially hiding from the cold.
