2015 Mid Year Update
Letter from the President North Hills is alive with activity where up and coming millennials live, eat, shop, work and play alongside baby boomers. Whether it’s called the heart of Midtown Raleigh, the city within a city, or Raleigh’s second CBD--North Hills is truly the place with non-stop vibrancy . In the first half of 2015, North Hills experienced tremendous energy and momentum: • Popular national retailer Sur La Table opened in June joining other trendy national retailers Anthropologie, Vineyard Vines, and Lululemon at North Hills. • Allscripts announced the signing of a 245,000 square foot lease and the relocation of 1300 employees to North Hills in 2017. • Tower Two began to rise up out of the ground with a constantly moving tower crane constructing what will ultimately be an 18 story, 300,000 square foot office tower. • The Dartmouth, North Hills’ newest urban-styled apartment community, broke ground adding another construction crane to the skyline. • The Cardinal at North Hills (Continuing Care Retirement Community) also added a construction crane to the skyline with the shape of its buildings becoming very apparent. • The sale of two North Hills hotels garnered significant press due to the near record setting valuations. • A large digital board was placed into operations near the Common at North Hills allowing sponsors and North Hills to communicate digitally in the center of the Main District.
Looking forward to the rest of 2015, our outlook for North Hills remains so very strong. There continues to be more new openings, ground breakings, construction cranes, and simply just more things to do: • A groundbreaking will occur in September for Midtown Plaza, a 12-story 330,000 square foot office tower. • Marriott’s exciting, new upscale brand, AC Hotel, will start construction in the fall adding 133 hotel rooms. • North Hills’ first high-rise residential project, Park Central, will be underway later this year. This project will add more retail along the Midtown Park located under the residential tower. • The very popular Friday Night Tribute Series at the Midtown Park will add some fun music themes in August thru October during its expanded 10-week run. North Hills is urban planning that’s focused on anticipating instead of reacting. Positioning ourselves to accommodate the needs of today--and adapt to those of tomorrow. Over the next decade we plan to add more of everything that makes North Hills so special, filling a void for residents and visitors, young and old, who are looking for the 24/7, walkable environment with active streets, outdoor dining, late night fun and a multitude of events.

Six Forks Corridor Study
Lead consultants, Design Workshop and Stantec Engineering, shared a draft plan and recommendation for the Six Forks Road Corridor the end of January in a room of 120 citizen and business leaders. The City of Raleigh completed the study on the Corridor from the I-440 to Lynn Road. The plan included:
• Enhanced transit friendly high quality bus stop shelters which would be ‘BRT compliant;
• Segments of landscaped median throughout the study area (the first 2 mile thoroughfare stretch in Raleigh), including bike and pedestrian zones and transitional edge plantings;
• Vehicle space will be expanded in two stretches and only account for a 23% asphalt increase.
• Wider landscaped medians could include storm water run-off management • Educational, neighborhood gateway and general directional signs will incorporate corridor branding
The vision of the plan is to enhance the Six Forks Road corridor in a way that creates a sense of place that is “Uniquely Midtown” with:
• Identification of character segments “Urban Boulevard” and “Parkway Boulevard” reflecting the surrounding areas of each segment;
• Enhanced fluidity of movement
• Both “urban” and “parkway” segments contain three 11’ vehicular travel lanes, with 20-22’ shared median and left turn lane
• Environmental sensitivity
• Intersection medians all contain ‘pedestrian refuges’ for additional safety
• Transportation modes of all types
• Neighborhood Gateways’ to define entrances including planted medians with separation of traffic directions
• An irresistible gathering place
• Connectivity for residents, workers, students, and visitors • Neighborhood gateways

Midtown CERT
Last year, Kane Public Safety, a sub-group of the now defunct Raleigh/Wake CERT, began efforts to revive the Raleigh/Wake team. In 2006, KPS was the first CERT program in a mixed-use development.
Midtown CERT was approved and established on July 2nd, 2015 by the Department of Homeland Security and Federal Emergency Management Association, and listed in the national database. Midtown CERT is the only CERT program in the City of Raleigh, one of 12 within the Triangle and 67 in the State of North Carolina.
With the assistance of the NC Emergency Management CERT office, Kane Public Safety trained and certified Midtown Property Services since November 2014. Operations Manager Herb Ubbens, Captain Robert Way, and Chief Robert Batista became CERT program trainers in June 2015.
CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) is a FEMA and DHS program that prepares citizens and community members for disasters and hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills: • fire safety • light search and rescue • team organization • disaster medical operations
