Midtown Raleigh

Since its redevelopment in 2004, North Hills has been the heartbeat of Midtown Raleigh.

Midtown Raleigh Alliance

As a community-based nonprofit, the Midtown Raleigh Alliance (MRA) continued its mission to serve, promote and advocate for our local community and business district. The MRA prioritized curating and sharing information critical to businesses as they navigate the recovery process amid the challenges of labor shortages, inflation and supply chain woes. Additionally, we strengthened our partnership with the city of Raleigh to explore additional funding for new transportation and greenway connections.

Excitedly, we returned to in-person corporate events and community social gatherings. Two large forums were held the first half of the year providing timely expertise to members, guests and business leaders. ‘Midtown: Down to Business’ provided expert analysis and projections for the existing and pending post-pandemic business landscape. The ‘UN-Real Estate Forum’ provided market analysis on residential, commercial, and retail trends as well as several presentations on large scale Midtown development projects. The MRA partnered with the North Raleigh Chamber of Commerce and community members at our summer networking social and co-hosted a local Candidate Meet & Greet with Raleigh Magazine. The Midtown streetscape got a new burst of color as the MRA continued its Midtown Banner Art tradition, featuring two designs from one of the organization’s founding members and local artist, Chris Young.

Fulfilling a call to identify and support future leaders, MRA was excited to again provide two college scholarships in the Spring of 2022. Sanderson High School seniors Aubrey Loftis and Nayla Seda were awarded the Midtown Community Hero Scholarship for their impressive academic and community service efforts while attending Sanderson. At the 2022 ‘State of Midtown’ event, guests experienced exclusive luxury atop of The Eastern Residences in North Hills as they joined to celebrate the success of Midtown. This extraordinary event showcased the best views of Raleigh, including aerials of current prominent projects. The State of Midtown provided an experience that will long be remembered and furthered the strength of the Midtown brand. We are grateful to all sponsors who were paramount in making this event such a grand success!

We are grateful for the successes of 2022, our strong and committed volunteer leaders, and we look forward to an even brighter 2023!
