North Hills has experienced a dynamic transformation over the past year, making it an exciting hub for both Raleighites and visitors. With new businesses opening and more on the horizon, the development continues to evolve, and we’re excited, to say the least.
Open
In addition to new restaurants + shopping options, the development has added more residential and office spaces to its line up. Channel House, located in the North Hills Innovation District (NHID), features 200 units, ranging from studio to three bedroom apartments, and sits above vibrant retail spaces like Dose Yoga + Smoothie Bar.
The two office spaces, both located in the Main District, include 4114 Center at North Hills, a five-story building located above True Food Kitchen boasting 80,000+ sqft and One North Hills Tower, a 10-story office building fronting I-440 spanning 266,000 sqft. Both offer event rental spaces and are currently leasing.
Besides spaces made to live or work, there’s a bunch more to explore. If retail therapy is your jam, the options range from casual digs to formal fits. Retailers currently open include:
- johnnie-O, Main District | Modern elevated clothing
- Madewell, Main District | Casual clothing retailer
- Pink Chicken, Main District | Children’s clothing store
- Rothy’s, Main District | Sustainable footwear retailer
- Tecovas, Main District | Westernwear retailer
Once you’re done shopping or if you’re looking to grab a bite the options are versatile. Whether you have a sweet tooth, wanting a quick bite, or a more than casual dining experience here’s where to start:
- Captain Cookie and the Milk Man, Lassiter District | Casual desserts
- Girorgio Pizza Bar, Main District | Italian pizzeria and bar
- Las Ramblas, Main District | Spanish tapas bar
- Leo’s Italian Social, Main District | Casual, upscale Italian restaurant
- Ruth’s Chris Steak House, Main District | Elevated restaurant
- Tamasha, Park District | Upscale modern Indian restaurant
- Village Tavern, Main District | Elevated casual restaurant
Coming soon
There’s still so much to look forward to in Raleigh’s Midtown district. Later this fall, North Hills will welcome two new restaurants in Main District; fast casual salad spot Sweetgreen on Tuesday, Oct. 29 and health-inspired restaurant True Food Kitchen in November. But the fun doesn’t stop there — also coming to Main District in November are clothing + furniture retailers J.Crew, Lululemon, and RH.
HomeTurf, a premier cycling studio, will also debut in Tower 5 in the NHID next month. Closer toward winter, wine bar and restaurant Foxcroft Wine Co. will open in the Lassiter District.
