NORTH HILLS 2018 Year End Review & 2019 Outlook
LETTERfrom the President THE TRANSFORMATION OF NORTH HILLS IS DUE TO STRONG URBAN PLANNING THAT’S FOCUSED ON ANTICIPATING INSTEAD OF REACTING. It is a place positioning itself to accommodate the needs of tomorrow by applying innovative and creative thinking to this place. Now in 2019, we look forward to another year off to a great start with exciting changes throughout the urban footprint of North Hills in all three districts. New merchants, residents, events and workers--each adding their own distinctness to the greater North Hills area. In 2018, there was tremendous activity: • Midtown Plaza, a 330,000 square foot 12-story office building reached 100% leased, bringing all three towers at North Hills to full lease up. • The AC Hotel celebrated its one year anniversary with ever popular Level7 providing great views each night. • North Hills’ first high-rise residences, Park Central, welcomed numerous new residents nearing full stabilization. • Great local restaurants and merchants arrived at North Hills. Happy + Hale and Vita Vite, two popular downtown places, opened their second locations at North Hills. The old Bruegger’s building is in the process of a full rebranding with the anticipated arrival of Rosewater, a European bistro cafe by Giorgio Bakatsias.
• New restaurants opening in 2018 included CO, Bartaco, Viva Chicken and many more. • Warby Parker and Bluemercury opened in the Fall alongside popular fashion merchants such as South Moon Under, Bonobos and Lou Lou Boutique. • Vine Apartments are under construction as the first addition to the expanded 33 acres of the Park District. • Tower 4, a 325,000 square foot 20-story office tower, is under construction scheduled to open in mid 2020. • Coastal Credit Union announced a multi year naming right partnership for the recently refurbished Midtown Park. We remain thankful for the support and confidence of those that visit North Hills. As we often reflect upon the growing “skyline” of North Hills, we acknowledge the tremendous economic activity of our region attributed to a diversified industry base and highly regarded universities. The non-stop activity of our community is vibrant with people of all ages and stages of life eating, shopping, working, living and playing throughout North Hills. It is again with tremendous gratitude that we strongly affirm the outlook for North Hills is as robust as ever.
Mike Smith, President Kane Realty Corporation

Located along Six Forks Road at the base of the Bank of America tower, the Art Box is a unique public art display case with annual installations. Martiny’s work, Uchee, is a site-specific piece, assembled in situ. The brushstrokes sit one in front of the other and are made of polymer and pigment on aluminum.

NORTH HILLS WEBSITE LAUNCHED IN SEPTEMBER 2018, NORTH HILLS’ DYNAMIC NEW WEBSITE EMPHASIZES INTER ACTION AND PROVIDES A BETTER EXPERIENCE FOR OUR VISITORS. USER EXPERIENCE
VIP MEMBERSHIP
Captivating, mobile-friendly images adorn a framework utilizing the latest web standards and design patterns, and ensuring that menus, search tools, and filters are always within reach.
North Hills will soon provide free, personalized membership options for our visitors, allowing them to log in and interact with North Hills in new and innovative ways.
NAVIGATION
LIKE BUTTONS
The main menu hides when a user scrolls down, and returns instantly when a user scrolls up. This provides an unencumbered view of the page on mobile, and eliminates the need to scroll to the top of the page for navigation.
Logged-in users can “like” their favorite places and opt-in to receive more information.
PREFERENCES Users have complete control over their profiles. They can set their preferences, add their birthday, and determine what communications they would like to receive. Whether via email or text message, all communications are opt-in.
FILTERS Filter buttons appear in the navigation menu of every page on the website. These filters enable visitors to quickly sort locations/events/offers/news by category as well as group events and offers by day/week/month.
PERSONALIZED Users who opt-in for communications may choose to receive targeted news, offers, or events from the places they prefer. These direct communications are much more valuable than newsletter targeting, as they give our visitors what they want, rather than what we think they want.
IMAGES Images are now responsive. Large images load for users on desktop, and small images load for users on mobile devices. This makes our website much faster for users on mobile devices.
INCENTIVES
SEARCH
VIP members will be automatically entered for a monthly gift card drawing.
A redesigned search tool is now integrated in the main menu, eliminating the need for users to find it on the page or click through tabbed search results.
MAPS New interactive maps offer filters for locating places by category. Highlighted locations automatically update based on categories/ locations selected by visitors.

SUSTAINABILITY TESLA SUPERCHARGERS
RECYCLING
In 2017, we added 12 Tesla Superchargers in the Main District near Target. The new Superchargers provide fast, reliable electric charging for Tesla vehicle owners. The Supercharging site will help grow the electric vehicle-charging network for customers, which can increase sustainable transport and provide a convenient destination for drivers to shop.
Co-mingled recycling centers and clothing recycling stations are available onsite. Nearby restaurants participate in grease collections, which can then be recycled into biodiesel fuel, as well as food waste diversion and compost programs.
EV CHARGERS
The carbon footprint continues to be reduced with the addition of Zipcar, a self-service, on-demand car-sharing program. The two vehicles are located in the Park District near the HYATT house Hotel.
Twenty two (22) charging stations are available in North Hills: (17) level-2 charging stations in the Park District’s Midtown Green Apartments, Park & Market Apartments, Bank of America Tower, Captrust Tower and Midtown Plaza; and (4) level-2 charging stations and (1) DC Fast Charger (charges in 30 minutes) in the Main District.
WALK ABILIT Y
ENERGY USAGE
Walkability is emphasized with the WALK [Midtown] program, which aims to improve pedestrian mobility, safety, and health. The proximity to the Raleigh Greenway, also helps reduce the carbon footprint of the community.
Energy consumption is decreased with LED lighting and by creating smart and efficient practices across the property with new technologies, such as automation and energy management systems.

COMPOSTING AT NORTH HILLS
TR ANSIT & CIRCULATION
North Hills and our retailers have been partnering with Compost Now (previously Food FWD) since 2017. In 2018, Compost Now members diverted more than 6,069,029 lbs of compostables from the landfill.

Their aim is to continue lowering the barriers associated with composting, find and implement effective ways to reinforce the environmental, social and economical benefits of composting, and build a lasting, profitable organization that empowers its employees and customers.
Our fleet of electric shuttles transports guests throughout North Hills for shopping, dining, and special events. Two bus lines and a vanpool serve the community with stops in North Hills.

MIDTOWN MIDTOWN R ALEIGH ALLIANCE
MIDTOWN CERT Midtown CERT was approved and established in 2015 by the Department of Homeland Security and Federal Emergency Management Association, and listed in the national database. Midtown CERT is one of only two CERT program in the City of Raleigh, one of 13 within the Triangle and 68 in the State of North Carolina.
Over the past several months the Midtown Raleigh Alliance has made great strides in enhancing community discussions on significant development, transportation and art initiatives. The Alliance has grown in membership and influence, thru the creation and usage of strategic partnerships with elected officials, non-profits and corporate leaders. 2018 has ushered in movement on all the active Alliance priorities and the adoption of our Flagship Six Fork Corridor plan by the Raleigh City Council. This priority has been a focus for 5 years.
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 fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations
The MRA has welcomed new development partners focused on reviving the eastern spine of Midtown, and partnered with NC DOT to engage the public on new transportation projects to alleviate congestion along the Wake Forest/I-440 intersection. Additionally MRA members and Raleigh Visual Arts Exchange held an Art Walk featuring discussions and a tour of several of the North Hills art installations. MRA also applied Midtown’s first creative crosswalk near the Duke Raleigh hospital campus.
In 2006, Kane Public Safety became the first CERT program in a mixed-use development. Public Safety Major Jason Hunt and Chief Robert Batista became CERT program trainers in June 2015 and led the way in creating Midtown CERT. Currently all ground crew members for Midtown Property Services and Kane Realty Corp. have been trained and are active members of the Midtown CERT team. Additional CERT Basic training classes will take place throughout 2019.
Serving as a mechanism for the community to connect, engage and support is at the core of MRA’s mission. Since the organization’s inception a large scale charitable event is held each year to support a local cause. With the help of a dynamic network of sponsors and partners, the 2017 MRA Pumpkin Palooza raised nearly $15k for Teen Cancer America. In early 2018 leaders also decided to pursue the creation of an MRA College Scholarship for our local public high school. This will be available for 2019 Seniors of Sanderson High School.
