Does anyone know of any projects happening north of North Hills? We just bought a house near Falls of Neuse and Millbrook. Seems like a lot of potential for redeveloped shopping centers.
Welcome to this site! Sounds like your new house will be around the northern edge of the Midtown-St. Albans area plan, which is the playbook developers will have to follow. Raleighâs planning on making it safer (and prettier!) to walk or bike along Quail Hollow Dr. between Millbrook Rd. and North Hills, as well as adding mixed-use developments and âmissing middleâ housing along Millbrook.
Combine this with potential BRT and transit-friendly areas planned along Capital Blvd., and it means you could be 15-30min away from shops, restaurants, parks etc. even without a car in the next decade and some change.
We have a whole thread dedicated to talking about projects in that area, by the way.

Thereâs a filing for a zoning change behind the Quail Corners shopping center (from residential to commercial mixed use). I donât know much about whatâs going to be put in, but itâs right near Falls of Neuse/Millbrook. Building size limit is 40,000 feet across 2 stories.
Thereâs also a 3 story medical office building that should be going in at 5111 Falls of Neuse Rd.
The Edge - Midtown will be a 5 story mixed-use building. You can see the beams from the building they basically stripped away (next to the Wendyâs on Wake Forest Rd.)
Willow Creek North Ridge off Sandy Forks Rd. is looking to add up to 900 more apartments.
Not the most exciting of developments, but there are projects happening.

is there now an easy regular transit option between the two?
(Replying to a pre-pandemic post? That was unexpected lol)
âBetween the twoâ, as in between Crabtree and North Hills? GoRaleighâs map of current routes says no, though the Wake Transit Plan is aiming to have all-day buses with < 15min headways along that corridor in the future.

calling a glass tower walter is like calling a shoe a brogan. maybe a better name.
A post was merged into an existing topic: South Saunders Street south of Downtown
Friend of mine works at Epic Games and says he hears internally Epic is planning to continue on with the mixed use plans for Cary Town CenterâŚSo what they bought is not going to be for 100% Epic use, apparently. So thatâs encouraging itâll somewhat resemble what was approved, obviously with some modifications.

Yes. I believe they want to recoup most of their money back with this project. Also, with a generally younger work force, it would help recruit and retain employees who would love to eat, work, live, and play at the same location.

That would be fantastic. Iâd hate for most/all of the site to be an emplioyee-area campus. Based on the initial proposal for Carolina Yards (per TBJ in Oct 2020), it called for up to 1.2 million square feet of office space. I would image that is a lot of room for Epic to grow (and lease what they donât need right now), plus the other spaces for employees, visitors, clients and the community.
We walked over to Cary Towne Center last weekend, so depressing to see. The only part of the mall still open is almost the original part of the mall: Between Belk, Dave & Busters and the old Dillards. The rest was walled off. Oddly, Belk had their mall entrance closed but their exterior entrances open.

Looks like more details about the Kane North Hills East East area (between current North Hills East and the Midtown Exchange).

Vine Apartments were Phase 1. Done.
Next in Phase 2 to break ground in 2021 is âChannel Houseâ 200 unit apartment building, 18 story office building, parking deck extension, the âjewel boxâ retail building, and some of the outdoor spaces and greenway connections.

If only trees started out so mature. Unfortunately by the the trees look like they do in the renderings, the buildings arenât going to look the same. That said, I love the direction!

Itâs quite possible that some of those big trees along the creek are already there and will be kept in place (and wonât take 50 years to look like that)

Yeah, It is currently a mature forest in that area. If they do it correctly, they certainly could save some of those trees, especially near the creek. But typically construction these days is too clear cut and then replant. Care will need to be take to protect the root systems during construction.

The arc of the Beltline from Glenwood to Wake Forest Rd is going to see quite a dramatic change this decade.
