What’s Up at North Hills?
John Kane, the master mind behind the re-development of the expanded North Hills area appears to be forging ahead. Not only is he assembling 45 acres east of North Hills to build more shops, offices and residences, but has purchased land southwest of I-440 and Six Forks where building is underway for Ramblewood of North Hills, which is to include 84 condos, 39 town homes and 18 single family homes. It is reported that Kane also plans to break ground this summer on a 49-unit condo development called The Lassiter at North Hills, northwest of Six Forks and I-440. The homes range from 1,100 square feet to almost 6,000 square feet; new home prices will range from $280,000 to $2.5 million. Needless to say, property values in and around this area have soared as Kane’s development plans have taken shape. Being a resident of Raleigh since 1959, I remember the pleasure of stroller outings with my two babies in the 1960’s in the “new” North Hills Mall. Now the Mall has been transformed into a upscale village with shopping, dining and entertainment. It is such a joy see “what’s new” as the plan grows from an idea into reality. I don’t think we will run out of new things to discover any time soon. Great job, Mr. Kane! I look forward to watching your master plan take shape. And, for those with an interest in purchasing condos, town homes or single family homes in the North Raleigh and North Hills area, that information is just a phone call away — 919.961.7777.
