RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) — Shops in North Hills’ new Main District are starting to open, after three years of construction and a $350 million investment.

The anchor is a three-story, 50,000 Restoration Hardware.

An atrium is being built on top level and it will offer customers a unique experience. A restaurant and wine bar are going into the space.

“I’m excited for it. It’s definitely going to be beautiful,” said Raleigh resident Jannah Jones.

The restaurant is slated to open in mid-October.

New office, retail and residential space is also going up on the former JCPenney’s site.
