Abstract:
Raleigh's deteriorating 1960s-era North Hills, the Raleigh Research Triangle's first enclosed mall, and the adjacent North Hills Plaza have been transformed into the Triangle's quintessential mixed-use district. The new North Hills creatively combines many of the necessary and pleasurable elements of daily life - shopping, working, living, dining, and enjoying entertainment - into a carefully designed setting that compares to the style and livability of mid-town Atlanta.
