I think that whole side of the development is very odd. It just doesn’t make sense to me. The Captrust building, which is tallish but also stumpy looking beside the suburban looking Bruegger’s beside the overly long condo building with the strange lights. New urbanist hell!

re: “Only people who don’t live at Park & Market would say the development is odd” ???? So…. A few hundred apartment renters, i.e. the Park & Market renters, should determine whether or not a massive development in the center of the Triangle, which has created a brand new section of Raleigh, (Midtown), is functional, effective, good-looking, with the correct mix of tenants??? With all due respect to Park & Market renters, I don’t think North Hills has become what it is today because of the apartments on site. I don’t think Mr. Kane built his retail mix around what a few hundred renters prefer. There are over 10,000 people at a 1-mile radius of North Hills. With 150,000 cars per day on the beltline alone, North Hills is catering to a much larger base of consumers.
