Imagine if North Hills had a stadium, an arena, a nationally recognized art museum, multiple parks and greenways, the state fair, a world renowned hospital, and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.driveshack.com\/locations\/raleigh\">Drive Shack<\/a>, all within a couple walkable square miles. This doesn\u2019t exist anywhere in Raleigh. <\/p>\n<p>And while all the features I just mentioned are already here, the upscale shopping hasn\u2019t been developed yet\u2026 but that is the final piece of the puzzle and it\u2019s finally on the docket.
