If you’ve driven down Six Forks Road recently, you have probably seen a huge expanse of brush, clay, and construction equipment across the street from North Hills Mall. I was really sad to see the old Bennigans building finally go but I knew the time was quickly approaching. This area is now officially underway as crews build a 20-story office tower in the evolving North Hills East development. This is a joint project between Duke Realty and Kane Realty.
The building is expected to stand 265 feet tall and offer 275,000 square feet of mix-use space.
“We are very excited to partner with Duke Realty to develop the first office tower at North Hills,” said John Kane, CEO of Kane Realty, in a statement. “Duke Realty is a powerhouse in providing top-notch office space in the Triangle and throughout the country. This collaboration continues our commitment to providing high-quality construction that meets our clients’ tastes.”
Kane developed the North Hills complex and related properties that you have already seen and enjoyed.
“We really jumped at the opportunity to develop an office complex at North Hills because there is no other place like it in the Triangle,” said Jeff Sheehan, Senior Vice President of Duke’s Raleigh operations. “A lot of people talk about mixed use, but Kane has actually done it.”
The new tower will include restaurants and retail space as well as parking. It is expected to officially open in early 2009.
Duke Realty, which is based in Indiana, oversees more than 5.2 million square feet of office and industrial real estate across the Triangle.
