2020 REVIEW • 2021 OUTLOOK
A Review of 2020 and Outlook for 2021 How do we put 2020 into words? It was an unexpected series of events we heard we might need to prepare for someday (but couldn’t ever imagine becoming a reality today). The word “unprecedented”, while overused, is still very appropriate in our constant conversations. Yet, despite the continuous rollout of challenges throughout the year for everyone in all facets of our lives, we found a resilient community throughout Raleigh, and especially North Hills, working together to support each other in our day to day encounters. The resilience of North Hills was on full display and is still evident today by the constant workings of our merchants and restaurateurs. Over 40+ locally owned businesses didn’t have corporate strategists or endless deep pockets to rely on to cushion them as the challenges began to occur. However, each one of these talented businesses shifted their offerings, crafted new marketing and communications plans, and provided incredible service to their customers. Their unique customized approach has allowed these merchants and restaurants to stand out and earn new customers with more optimism heading into 2021. With all of the North Hills hotels back open and workers returning more often to their offices, we have great expectations for 2021. It’s also clear the residents throughout the North Hills area deepened patterns and relationships with the North Hills restaurants and merchants. The Kane Realty property teams have worked tirelessly to say “yes” to “out of the box” thinking of needs and ideas as the goal of all is to insure North Hills maintains its role in Raleigh as an important gathering place for our community to shop, live, work and play. There is much notable work to share and more underway: • The newest residential community, Vine, opened up in late summer welcoming new residents in our expanded area of North Hills, known as the North Hills Innovation District or NHID.
• In early spring, Restoration Hardware announced an RH Gallery will be coming to North Hills with the redevelopment of the area around the former J.C. Penney. This RH Gallery will have two levels of design rooms with a third floor cafe, bar, restaurant and outdoor seating. • Several new exciting leases were signed welcoming new restaurateurs: locally loved Jubala Coffee opening along Midtown Park; our favorite, The BBQ Lab, is opening next to Omega Sports in the Commons and our newest restaurateur from Durham is opening up Cucciolo Terraza in the Advance Auto Parts Tower. • New openings included BulBox, Alara + Zane, and Restoration Hardware. • The Walter, a 35-story residential tower, broke ground in January 2020 and will be opening up in 2022. One of the biggest observations from the past year is we all strongly desire community and want to gather together. North Hills continues to work toward providing ongoing accessible opportunities to be together inside and outside. And in the planning of new places throughout North Hills, we continue to keep this top of mind. We have great confidence that we will be back together more frequently as a community in the months ahead. We also firmly believe that the future of Raleigh is incredibly strong. Both downtown and midtown Raleigh are direct beneficiaries of the unfortunate struggles facing the US’s largest metropolitan areas. It is with deep gratitude that we say “Thank you” for the continued care, support and concern shown toward the businesses, neighbors and residences in the North Hills community. Looking forward to a great 2021,
• The 20-story Advance Auto Parts Tower opened up in the fall welcoming one of Raleigh’s largest employers to their headquarters. IAT Insurance, American Board of Anesthesiology, and US Radiology Specialists are joining them in this new space. Mike Smith, President Kane Realty Corporation

The 33-acre district will offer an unprecedented amount of open natural area (including outdoor working spaces), and bustling, walkable ground level with experiential retail and maker’s spaces, NHID will facilitate interaction and collaboration with a wide range of office

of NHID – to create a connection point for thought leaders in Innovative fields including technology and the life sciences within an urban environment, to thoughtfully and responsibly engage the natural resources of Big Branch Creek as it bisects the district and to promote local and diverse artisans and makers – will be showcased through the District’s thoughtful design.
Development
• BREAKING GROUND IN 2021
Innovative retail at the ground level throughout NHID will be a focus and will reflect a departure from traditional configurations. NHID will reflect a hyper-local focus and a curated, diverse set of food and beverage purveyors with additional spaces created for Makers dedicated to craft. Microretail spaces featuring large garage style doors and ample outdoor areas able to be uniquely activated will provide distinction and opportunity to a new type of communal ideasharing and placemaking.
52
Considered with experience in mind, NHID will carefully fold into the natural surroundings – maintaining a protective tree zone along the tributary of Big Branch Creek that uniquely runs through the property, enhanced by a series of bridges and landings that connect the vertical projects. Creatively exposed Stormwater interventions will showcase critical bioretention activities to create public awareness and educational opportunities about the ecosystem of Big Branch. Outdoor rooms with powered furnishings will make room for outside workspace, meeting space, dining areas for office tenants, residents and guests to enjoy. The exterior material palettes within the Innovation District are an amalgam of live metals, natural wood, hand-forged iron, regionally produced brick, exposed aggregate, large scale murals and live walls. At once urban and by-the-hand, the District’s character will be distinct and serve as a special backdrop for artistic touches throughout.

• ART
Maya Freelon’s most recent change to the Art Box is part of her exhibit at CAM in downtown Raleigh. The exhibit “Greater Than or Equal To” focuses on how the value—of a person, a life, a work of art—is determined, and who determines it? The image of the symbol ≥ is “to remind folks that it’s a constant question…an opportunity for you to be aware of your judgement and where you’re placing your value.

Freelon is an award-winning visual artist whose work was described by the late poet Maya Angelou as “visualizing the truth about the vulnerability and power of the human being.” Freelon completed residencies at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine, the Korobitey Institute in Ghana, and the Brandywine Workshop in

Bookended by Tex-Mex restaurant, Chuy’s, and The Cardinal, and flanked by Midtown Green Apartments and Park Central, the area’s first high-rise luxury apartments, the 1.25-acre Coastal Credit Union Midtown Park is the backdrop for many events, both large and small.

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.

Additionally, in 2019, North Hills brought its first 24 passenger shuttle to the property. The shuttle circulates between all three districts, seven days a week. The goal of the shuttle is to minimize traffic while giving residents, shoppers, and workers a quick and safe way to get around the property. We partnered with TransLoc, a Durham-based company that provides tracking data for existing GoTriangle buses, for the shuttle’s tracking services. By downloading the TransLoc app, riders in North Hills can track the shuttle to minimize wait times at their desired stop. Due to COVID-19, service has been temporarily suspended.
Tesla Superchargers 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.
Zipcar The carbon footprint continues to be reduced with the addition of Zipcar, a selfservice, on-demand car-sharing program. The two vehicles are located in the Park District near the HYATT house Hotel.
Walkability 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.
Solar Partnering with Baker Renewable Energy, North Hills utilizes rooftop solar panels to generate power for a range of services.

Composting
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.
North Hills and our retailers have been partnering with Compost Now since 2017. In 2018 and 2019, Compost Now members diverted 6,118,665 pounds of compostable waste from the landfill. By diverting food waste from the landfill, we are reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Their aim is to continue lowering the barriers associated with composting, find and implement effective ways to reinforce the environmental, social and economic benefits of composting, and build a lasting, profitable organization that empowers its employees and customers.
EV Chargers 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.
Energy Usage 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.
Beehive Initiative North Hills has partnered with Bee Downtown to host Honeybee hives at Bank Of America Tower and possibly other locations in North Hills. Bee Downtown installs and maintains beehives on corporate campuses, rebuilding healthy honeybee populations while simultaneously powering Employee Engagement Programming and Leadership Development.

2020 was not the year that any of us expected but the Midtown Raleigh Alliance was able to assess the environment and redirect it’s programs to help the greater business community. All scheduled in person events were postponed but the MRA was excited to provide a series of virtual events focused on surviving, and the eventual recovery. The RECOVERY series of events focused on diving into what the new office experience might look and feel like, as well as the critical nature of corporate and leisure travel, and finally the impacts of the shutdowns on the local and market economies.
A silver lining to the 2020 pandemic and local response was the strengthening of partnerships between business advocacy groups and the City of Raleigh. The MRA worked alongside the city and other groups, meeting twice weekly and sharing resources, information and contacts to provide local businesses with their best chances for staying open. In May two students from Sanderson high school were awarded the Midtown Community Hero Scholarship from the MRA. The fundraising drive success was such that we expanded our awards from a single recipient to two, a testament to the community’s charitable nature. In late December the MRA was awarded an Impact Partner Grant from the city to support the local art community thru another Banner Art Contest. The grant will allow the Alliance to fund local artists and beautify our streets with unique designs that connect directly with our Midtown spirit.

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program educates volunteers about disaster preparedness for the hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. CERT offers a consistent, nationwide approach to volunteer training and organization that professional responders can rely on during disaster situations, allowing them to focus on more complex tasks.
