Hello Friday. April 26 2024 
We sat down with one of the developers behind Smoky Hollow — Kane Realty Corporation — to learn more about the history of the area, retail coming soon + future events.

The first phase of the project opened in spring 2020 with the Peace Raleigh Apartments — a 417-unit apartment building atop a ~50,000 sqft Publix grocery store.
The second phase includes The Line (283 apartment units over retail), 421 N. Harrington St. (225,000 sqft of office space over retail) + a parking deck.
👉 The history
The Smoky Hollow neighborhood was once an area where blue-collar mill + railroad workers lived, according to director of design for Kane Realty Josie Reeves. The area was defined by the railroad tracks that still run through the district today.
Coal-burning trains would travel through + emit smoke that would settle in the low-lying neighborhood — thus making a smoky hollow, she said.

The Line Apartments + the 421 office space are both open to lease, and so far 4 retail spots have been announced:
The outdoor space in between the Line Apartments + the 421 building, known as the Hollow, hosts a new Raleigh Night Market on the second Wednesday of each month from 5-9 p.m.
Smoky Hollow doesn’t end there — the development team is in the early design stages for a third phase now.
