North Hills East - Will Kane be Able?

Filed Under Real Estate | 8 Comments

Proposed North Hills EastIf John Kane has his way, North Hills Mall could be expanding – both out and up.

Kane Realty has purchased roughly 50 acres of land across Six Forks road near the current North Hills shopping mall, an area he hopes to develop into North Hills East. Like the existing North Hills area, this new development will be mixed-use (they’re even partnering with Duke to create an on-site continuing care retirement home). Unlike the existing North Hills though, the new development will be more vertical and will feature more green space around the planned buildings. Read more

Extreme Makeover: Shopping Center Edition

Filed Under Business, Real Estate | 9 Comments

Holly Park Shopping CenterThe N&O is reporting that the Holly Park shopping center off of Wake Forest Road will be sold to a Charlotte-based developer in the near future.

If you’re familiar with the location, you should be relieved to hear this. The center is badly outdated and definitely in need of a facelift. Given its prime location right off of the beltline, it always seemed that much more could be done with the area.

This shopping center currently houses a DMV, the Shaba Shabu restaurant and the nearby Melting Pot among some non-notable others. I haven’t heard or seen anything about what the sale will mean for these and other new businesses, but would imagine that a big name retailer or restaurant could be added as the renovations commence.

In similar news, the TBJ is reporting that the Pleasant Valley shopping center off of Glenwood Avenue will be adding a Golfsmith superstore, replacing the vacancy left by Best Buy when they moved down the road near Crabtree Valley Mall.

Pleasant Valley seemed to have some life brought back into it when Gold’s Gym was added in the old movie theater slot around the side of the center, but with the Best Buy move the center was in desperate need of a new big-name draw.
