Millennium Private Wealth expands presence to Raleigh at Tower 5 in North Hills. 

Tower 5 provides well-located premier office space that maximizes workplace culture, productivity and lifestyle amenities. 

Kane Realty Corporation is excited to announce Millennium Private Wealth has signed a lease for approximately 4,000 square feet of office space at Tower 5 in North Hills Innovation District (NHID) in Midtown Raleigh. Millennium Private Wealth is a wealth management practice focused on building long term client relationships and helping individuals and families identify and achieve their financial goals through a comprehensive, strategy driven approach. The practice is expanding into North Carolina with the opening of its first Raleigh office.

Open in 2025, Tower 5 is a 342,000-square-foot, 17-story office tower part of NHID offering:

• Thoughtfully amenitized common areas, including work and conference spaces

• Integrated parking

• Unique outdoor connection points creating new workplace opportunities for collaboration, working and gathering

NHID is thoughtfully planned to facilitate interaction among office users, entrepreneurs, retail tenants, creatives and makers. Ideally located among the existing options and conveniences within North Hills, the new 33-acre district features Class A office space, over 1,500 apartments, four acres of outdoor space and 60,000 square feet of active ground-level retail highlighted by distinctive indoor/outdoor experiences. Kane Realty’s recent 28-acre 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.

“Millennium Private Wealth is thrilled to have expanded our presence to Raleigh, North Carolina. We’re proud to be joining the vibrant North Hills community and securing space in Tower 5, a premier destination for business, innovation, and growth. This move reflects our commitment to serving clients in one of the fastest growing markets in the country, and we look forward to building lasting relationships throughout the Triangle.”     – Millennium Private Wealth

“We remain steadfast in our commitment to disciplined growth, risk-aware strategies, and proactive wealth transfer planning – values that strengthen not only the families we serve, but the broader community we’re proud to be a part of. Our presence at Tower 5 positions our team for continued expansion and deeper local engagement, ensuring our clients and neighbors alike benefit from continuity, forward-thinking expertise, and long-term investment in the vitality of our community.”     – James “Jim” Leonard Managing Director, Owner, Institutional Consultant; Dan Mason, Managing Director, Owner; The Leonard-Mason Group of Millennium Private Wealth

“Tower 5 offers a workplace that inspires productivity and engagement, a wide variety of walkable retail and dining options, and immediate access to natural spaces and bike/pedestrian connections,” said Hooker Manning, Director of Office Leasing at Kane Realty.

“North Hills continues to retain and attract top-tier office users in the Triangle market seeking an unparalleled tenant experience. We are confident Millennium’s clients and employees will benefit from their business home in the middle of a walkable 6 million square foot hub of places to live, work, shop, dine, play and stay at North Hills,” said Mike Smith, CEO of Kane Realty.

Recent new office lease announcements at North Hills include Parexel, flyExclusive, RSM, Weatherby Healthcare, Jewelers Mutual Group, Brightly Software a Siemens company, JT International (JTI), HNTB, Raymond James & Associates, PwC, Ralliant, QHP Capital, Huntington Bank, The Starboard Holding Companies including The Nautical Group and Nautical Advisory Services, Aon, Apex Systems, Brown Advisory, Linesight and Sysdig.

Vibrant local retailers now open or coming soon to NHID include Standard brewery/restaurant, Dose Yoga + Smoothie Bar, Good Graces market/bar/eatery, Benchwarmers Bagel & Coffee, Hometurf cycling studio, Unlikely Professionals store/bar, and Hush salon – all part of 1.2 million square feet of curated retail space at North Hills.

Brian Farmer and Gary McArdell with Lee & Associates represented Millennium in their lease transaction. Hooker Manning and Alex Mikels with Kane Realty represented the landlord in the lease deal.

In January, Kane Realty, in partnership with McCourt Partners, acquired 28 acres between Navaho Drive and I-440, setting the stage for a phased series of mixed-use projects that will expand the NHID footprint.

“The vision behind North Hills Innovation District has always been about creating a place where people can work, live, gather, and connect in meaningful ways,” said Warner Kuppin, Chief Development Officer with Kane Realty. “This next phase allows us to extend that vision with a thoughtful mix of residential, hospitality, office, retail, open space, and mobility enhancements that strengthen the district while creating new connections to the surrounding community.”

“We’re excited to partner with Kane Realty on the continued evolution of North Hills Innovation District,” said Jordan Lang, President of McCourt Partners. “This next phase reflects a shared commitment to thoughtful growth that enhances connectivity, expands housing options, and creates dynamic spaces for people to come together.”

New Residential Tower and Hotel Near Greenway Connection

Among the next major projects advancing within the district is Vesper, a 20-story residential tower featuring 357 apartment homes and five levels of structured parking. The tower will include penthouse residences, a robust fitness and wellness amenity suite, outdoor space on the sixth floor, and a 20th-floor rooftop amenity deck with a resort-style pool and gathering spaces.

On the adjacent lot, Kane Realty is pursuing a 200-plus-key hotel that could include a rooftop bar, street-level restaurant space, valet parking, and amenities designed to complement the neighborhood. Both projects will benefit from convenient access to a new greenway addition running from St. Albans Drive that will ultimately connect to Raleigh’s broader Greenway network.

Just behind these two projects, Kane Realty plans to extend Church at North Hills Street and build a vehicular and pedestrian bridge crossing the stream to connect with Navaho Drive. Kane Realty is collaborating with the City of Raleigh to ensure the expansion’s enhanced road plans align with the City’s future greenway extensions and its planned multi-modal bridge crossing I-440.

First Expansion Projects Plans Filed

Kane Realty has filed site plans for the first two expansion projects at 901 Navaho Drive. The first, ‘Veranda,’ is a 207-unit mixed-use development that introduces 55-plus housing—which Kane Realty sees as an underrepresented segment in Raleigh—within a walkable, connected setting that strengthens the district’s housing diversity.

The second project at this site will be called Merit, a seven-story residential building with 387 apartment homes above two levels of parking, anchored by 10,000 square feet of neighborhood-serving retail. Sustainability and wellness will be central to its design.

Kane Realty is also pursuing workforce housing opportunities as part of the broader expansion.

“The market is telling us that there’s a real demand for housing at every stage of life. By introducing that diversity of options in an urban, nature-forward setting, we’re not just responding to what Raleigh needs right now; we are building a stronger and more resilient community,” said Drew Yates, Managing Director of Development with Kane Realty.

Conceptual planning has also begun for North Hills’ next office tower, which would feature an active ground level with immediate access to open space, an adjacent park, and streamside retail activations. The project would introduce the second Trophy Class office building at NHID and the sixth office tower at North Hills overall.“North Hills is uniquely positioned to attract leading companies seeking a best-in-class environment for their talented workforce,” said Hooker Manning, Director of Office Leasing at Kane Realty. “A new office tower marks another transformative investment in the thriving Innovation District, where leasing momentum remains strong, and demand continues to outpace available space. With very little vacancy across North Hills—and new buildings like One North Hills Tower, which opened in 2024 and was fully leased by the end of 2025—we see a clear opportunity to meet continued demand for well-located, premier office space that supports workplace culture, productivity, collaboration, and access to lifestyle amenities.”

Tributary Underway as Existing District Momentum Continues

Construction is underway at Tributary, which broke ground in January 2026 with a target delivery of early 2028. The project will deliver 332 apartments and 6,000 square feet of ground-level retail along a new extension of Hardimont Road, along with two courtyards, a digital content creation studio, an elevated wellness center, nature-integrated design, and new greenway connections. Tributary’s interior design celebrates innovation in sustainable textiles and includes finishes like wall coverings with pressed wildflowers and gym flooring from recycled tennis shoes. The project team includes Hickok Cole as architect, John Moriarty & Associates as general contractor, and McAdams as civil engineer.

Kane Realty Corporation is pleased to announce that Basic Brewing, a new brewery and full-service dining concept, will open at Platform in Raleigh’s West End neighborhood, this fall. Basic Brewing will bring a fresh, elevated take on the traditional brewery experience blending a warm, inviting atmosphere with a thoughtfully curated food and beverage program designed for everything from casual gatherings to date nights.

“We’re excited to welcome Basic Brewing to Platform and continue building a dynamic, community-driven retail mix in West End,” said Mary Ehrenberger, Retail Leasing and Multi-Site Manager for Kane Realty Corporation. “Their concept aligns perfectly with the vision for Platform—bringing people together through unique, high-quality experiences in a neighborhood setting.”

The space will feature a mid-century modern and industrial-inspired design, offering a more polished environment than a typical brewery. Guests can expect a full kitchen with a menu centered around pizza, alongside an American-inspired selection of dishes. The beverage program will include a lineup of core beers, seasonal rotations, as well as a curated cocktail and wine menu.

Founded with the motto “Savor Life, Enjoy Basic,” the concept was born from a desire to create a place where people can slow down and connect over simple, meaningful experiences. After years in the corporate world and overcoming significant personal health challenges, the founder was inspired to build a neighborhood gathering space rooted in community and connection.

“West End and the surrounding neighborhoods truly capture the heart and history of Raleigh,” said Kendall York, Founder of Basic Brewing. “As someone who has lived here my entire life, it’s exciting to be part of a growing area that still feels deeply connected to the community. We’re looking forward to creating a space where people can come together and enjoy the simple things.”

In addition to its food and beverage offerings, Basic Brewing will feature a rentable private event space, with options for larger group gatherings. The team also plans to collaborate with neighboring businesses to host community events for residents and visitors, while introducing its own unique programming. They will join a growing lineup of local retailers at Platform, including Homebody Yoga and Wellness, The Bike Library, Brightside Books & Wine, and MOOD Raleigh further establishing Platform as a vibrant hub for wellness, retail, and community in the West End district.

Kane Realty announced plans for two mixed-use developments in Cary: Flatiron, a seven-story apartment and retail building on Chatham Street in Cary’s West End, and 7001 Weston, a redevelopment of an aging office building into a five-story apartment community with ground-floor retail. Together, the two projects would add up to 488 new homes, including a long-term affordability commitment at 7001 Weston, along with retail and gathering space serving two distinct, fast-growing parts of Cary.

“Cary has become one of the fastest-growing communities in the country, and its downtown is transforming just as quickly. Flatiron is an opportunity to help shape downtown with thoughtfully designed, walkable, mixed-use places that create long-term value for the community. 7001 Weston answers a different question—how an established suburban office corridor evolves to help solve a housing problem that wasn’t present when it was built,” said Mike Smith, Chief Executive Officer at Kane Realty.

Ya Liu, a North Carolina State Representative and former Cary Town Council member, shared her thoughts: “I’m delighted to learn that Kane Realty, a seasoned developer, plans to invest in and bring their work to Cary, a growing and thriving town. Their projects don’t simply add buildings—they help bring communities to life, and that’s exactly the kind of thoughtful investment Cary’s continued growth deserves. These developments will deliver much-needed housing to help address the housing shortage, along with high-quality retail that will further enhance our vibrant community.”

Flatiron is a proposed seven-story, mixed-use building on approximately two acres at 602 W. Chatham Street and 523 Old Apex Road, directly across from Vicious Fishes Brewery and South Line Brewing Co. The site, adjacent to the Chatham Street roundabout, sits at one of Cary’s most visible gateways to downtown. The project will include 213 apartment homes above 5,659 square feet of restaurant and retail space, with structured parking. The restaurant and retail space will front Old Apex Road near the traffic circle and feature outdoor patio seating designed to complement the public realm.

Flatiron will be Kane Realty’s first residential development in downtown Cary and is being pursued in partnership with Mackenan, a local developer whose work along Chatham Street and in Cary’s West End has helped shape downtown’s recent evolution.

Together, Highwoods Properties and Kane Realty are collaborating to redevelop an office building site at 7001 Weston Parkway, a property that is obsolete in today’s office market. The plan calls for a five-story multifamily building at the corner of Weston Parkway and Norwell Boulevard, in nearly the exact footprint of the existing office building, which is the section of the site farthest from existing single-family homes. The plan intentionally preserves the remainder of the property, allowing the existing surface parking and mature tree canopy along the southern and western edges to be preserved, continuing to function as a natural buffer between the new building and the surrounding neighborhoods.

The unit mix includes up to 275 apartment homes designed to provide a range of housing options within walking distance of employment and daily services along the Weston corridor. The ground-floor retail is envisioned as neighborhood-serving uses such as a coffee shop, small restaurant, or personal services that activate the street for residents and the surrounding community. As part of the proposal, 5% of units would be maintained as affordable for households earning at or below 80% of the area median income for a minimum of 30 years. This commitment ensures that a portion of the housing at this location remains accessible to working households for decades to come.

“Thanks to Highwoods and the Town of Cary’s care in developing the Weston corridor over the years, this site already has everything a neighborhood needs to grow: infrastructure, road access, utilities, and proximity to jobs. Replacing a building that’s reached the end of its life with 275 homes is the kind of smart development that helps fix the housing shortage without using up open land or putting extra strain on roads. Together with Highwoods, we’ve worked closely with planning staff and neighbors to refine our design for the site, protecting the tree canopy, maintaining meaningful buffers, and committing to long-term affordability, which together make this a place that serves the surrounding community,” shared Kallie Walker, Managing Director of Development with Kane Realty.

Highwoods Properties and the team have worked closely with the Town of Cary planning staff and the neighboring residential community to arrive at a plan that reflects both the evolving nature of the Weston office market and the priorities of the neighborhood at its edge.

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.
