Kane Realty Corporation has broken ground on Tributary, the newest residential community within the North Hills Innovation District (NHID), and confirmed the recent 28-acre land acquisition will expand NHID’s footprint and unlock a next-phase vision for Raleigh’s dynamic, entrepreneur-focused district designed to lean into the natural environment.

Tributary will deliver 332 apartments and 6,000 square feet of ground-level retail along a new extension of Hardimont Road, further reinforcing NHID’s nature-forward urbanism: a walkable, mixed-use destination situated around a tributary of Big Branch Creek, preserved wetlands, and outdoor connectivity. The groundbreaking follows significant recent milestones across NHID, including notable leasing activity at Tower 5 and the opening of St. Albans Lofts (July 2025), and sets the stage for a series of high-visibility openings in 2026.

Tributary will include two expansive courtyards, a digital content creation studio, and an elevated wellness center—amenities intended to support modern lifestyles and foster a strong sense of community.

With the 28-acre acquisition, Kane Realty has begun thoughtful planning for the next era of NHID and North Hills—advancing NHID’s vision through nature-forward urbanism, local-first retail, pedestrian-friendly design, and deeper integration of greenway access, trails, and pocket parks.

The vision includes:

• Next to Tributary, two projects are planned: a high-rise residential development with a rooftop pool, club room, and skyline views of midtown and downtown Raleigh, and a mixed-use building that may include hotel, residential, or office space.
• A phased 28-acre expansion of NHID along I-440, extending mixed-use development to Wake Forest Road, with a focus on walkability, appropriate scale, and integration with nature.
• Multiple mixed-residential project types.
• Pop-up retail and programming, along with deeper integration of greenway connections, trails, pocket parks, and nature-focused interactions.

Kane Realty Corporation is excited to announce that Reformation, the sustainable womenswear brand known for its trend-forward and eco-conscious apparel, will open its first Raleigh location in the Main District of North Hills. The store is slated to open in the first half of 2026 and will be situated between J.Crew and Veronica Beard.

This Raleigh location marks Reformation’s second store in North Carolina, joining its existing location in Charlotte, and reinforces North Hills’ position as a premier destination for sought-after national and local retailers.

“North Hills continues to attract retailers that blend style, quality, and experience, and we’re pleased to welcome Reformation to Raleigh,” said Stacey Buescher, Managing Director of Operations for Kane Realty Corporation. “Their commitment to sustainable, fashion-forward design aligns perfectly with what our community values.”

Founded in 2009, Reformation is a global lifestyle brand on a mission to bring sustainable fashion to everyone. The brand combines vintage-inspired apparel with eco-friendly business practices across a range of product categories, including dresses, separates, denim, sweaters, shoes, bags and more. While low impact measures are incorporated into every aspect of its operations, the company’s efforts ladder up to two hero commitments: becoming Climate Positive by 2025 and Circular by 2030. Its products have been climate neutral since 2015 and the business has been Climate Neutral Certified since 2021. The brand has also established itself as a leader in retail innovation, pioneering a proprietary tech-enabled store concept that brings the best of its online experience to its physical doors.
