As the new Smoky Hollow district begins welcoming visitors this summer, Kane Realty, along with Williams Realty & Building Company and Lionstone Investments, is excited to announce four tenants that will soon be a part of the Smoky Hollow community – Dose Yoga + Smoothies, J.Lights Market & Café, Midwood Smokehouse and Madre.

The businesses, all founded by North Carolinians, will each offer Smoky Hollow patrons a unique experience for every part of their day, including coffee and smoothies after a morning workout, deli and BBQ sandwiches for lunch on-the-go, or upscale tapas for a dinner on the town.
“From very start of this project, we wanted to ensure that Smoky Hollow had a strong representation from our local community – from the initial design to the ultimate retail tenant mix., said John Kane, CEO of Kane Realty Corporation. “These retail businesses exemplify everything we could want in a partner – creative, innovative and resilient.”

Smoky Hollow is a transcendent, multi-phase project injecting a creative mix of uses into downtown Raleigh. Phase 1 opened spring 2020 with 417-unit Peace Raleigh Apartments above a ground-level Publix—downtown Raleigh’s first full-service grocery store. Part of Phase 2, the 283-unit The Line apartments opened December 2020, while the remaining part of Phase 2, 421 N. Harrington office building along with 45,000 square feet of street-level retail space, opened spring 2021. Phase 3 of Smoky Hollow is in conceptual planning stages now and will support additional office, retail, and multifamily.

“These businesses coming to Smoky Hollow are evidence of the growing momentum of investment in this newly revitalized part of the City of Raleigh, which is encouraging as the city gets back on its feet in the wake of COVID-19,” said Bill King, President & CEO of the Downtown Raleigh Alliance. “Kane Realty, Williams Realty & Building Company and Lionstone Investments forged ahead on this important project that truly establishes a Northern gateway to Downtown Raleigh during uncertain times, so I’m proud that Smoky Hollow will soon be fully open for business, featuring so many local establishments for the community to enjoy.”

Smoky Hollow will soon be the home of Raleigh’s first hot yoga studio and smoothie bar concept – Dose Yoga + Smoothies, created by yoga it-girl Emily Wallace. Dose will bring a new way to sweat and refresh, offering Raleigh yogis the opportunity to strengthen their core, stretch past some stress, or sweat through a flow – all followed by a smoothie full of real ingredients and natural adaptogenics.

Jared Burton, founder and owner of Durham’s J. Lights Market & Café, will open his first Raleigh location at Smoky Hollow. J. Lights will offer a full coffee program, complete with espresso creations and cold brew mixes, breakfast sandwiches, wraps and bowls, as well as kitchen-driven sandwiches, salads and starters with a full bar equipped with spiked sodas, handmade cocktails and local beers and wine.

Midwood Smokehouse by restaurateur Frank Scibelliwill bring award-winning Barbeque and smoked meats to Smoky Hollow., Midwood Smokehouse Raleigh will be led by Lexington-native Executive Pitmaster Matthew Berry, and will offer brisket, chopped pork, Tex-Mex taco and its signature sides.

Happy & Hale creator Tyler Helikson and Brad Shoff will soon introduce their newest concept, Madre, to Smoky Hollow. Inspired by the comforting and unconditional hospitality of our mothers, Madre is an energetic, full-service restaurant concept featuring small plates, wine, cocktails and weekend brunch.
