MIAMI—Kane Realty saw opportunity where others saw an aging retail area. Looking back, the company took a big risk and wound up with a bigger vision that it first imagined. The result is an award-winning 130-acre mixed use, multi-generational district in the heart of Midtown Raleigh, North Carolina called North Hills.

North Hills represents the transformation of what was the aging, first enclosed two-level mall between Washington, DC and Atlanta. Kane started the massive undertaking in 1999 when it purchased and redeveloped North Hills Plaza. Kane went on to purchase North Hills Mall and build one of the most comprehensive private redevelopment in-fill projects in the Southeast US.

Before North Hills, Raleigh residents that wanted to go out to dinner didn't have a cluster of options in one urban destination—much less a city within a city. Today, North Hills is home to luxury hotel rooms, class A office space, fine dining, salons and day spas, high-end boutiques, national retailers, a two-story grocery store, a 14-screen movie complex, a state-of-the-art athletic club, and plenty of public gathering places.
