Positioned along the northwest edge of downtown Raleigh is Smoky Hollow , a mixed-use urban development with office, apartment, retail, and restaurant spaces. The development has a modern-industrial design + boasts a pedestrian friendly, 40,000-sqft courtyard with street-level retail called The Hollow.
Now that the revitalized urban space has taken shape and exciting new tenants are beginning construction, it’s time to check in. Here’s what’s new in Smoky Hollow, which you can find near the Glenwood South district + adjacent to the future Devereux Meadow Park .
Now open
In spring 2020, the first phase of the project opened with Peace Raleigh Apartments — 417 homes atop a Publix grocery store. Additionally, The Line , a second and smaller housing complex with 283 apartments, is now open.
Smoky Hollow offers two office spaces: 421 N. Harrington St. , a 225,000 sqft office space, and the Creative Office , a 5,200 sqft two-story “collaborative open” work space.
Dose Yoga + Smoothie Bar — Smoky Hollow’s first retail tenant — opened in March. Emily Wallace’s newest studio features 104-degree hot yoga classes, in-house smoothies, and adaptogen lattes.
More recent additions include:
- Hause of Dogs (Doggy bakery + event space)
- Hush (hair, lash, and brow salon)
- Madre (small plates, wine, cocktails + weekend brunch)
- Midwood Smokehouse (award-winning BBQ + smoked meats)
- Milklab (rolled ice cream + bubble milk tea)
- New Anthem (Wilmington-based taproom)
Next door is the Smoky Hollow Parking Garage. It has 778 spaces with entrances on Harrington St. + N. West St.
