North Hills has experienced a dynamic transformation over the past year, making it an exciting hub for both Raleighites and visitors. With new businesses opening and more on the horizon, the development continues to evolve, and we’re excited, to say the least.

Open

In addition to new restaurants + shopping options, the development has added more residential and office spaces to its line up. Channel House, located in the North Hills Innovation District (NHID), features 200 units, ranging from studio to three bedroom apartments, and sits above vibrant retail spaces like Dose Yoga + Smoothie Bar.

Housed in the NHID district inside of Tower 5, HomeTurf, a premier exercise studio offers a range of cycling, strength, and hybrid classes.

The two office spaces, both located in the Main District, include 4114 Center at North Hills, a five-story building located above True Food Kitchen boasting 80,000+ sqft and One North Hills Tower, a 10-story office building fronting I-440 spanning 266,000 sqft. Both offer event rental spaces and are currently leasing.

Besides spaces made to live or work, there's a bunch more to explore. If retail therapy is your jam, the options range from casual digs to formal fits. Retailers currently open include:

J. Crew, Main District | Elevated casual clothing
johnnie-O, Main District | Modern elevated clothing
