Kane Realty's Mixed-Use Projects in Cary

0:00Cain Realty, the crew behind Raleigh's Hot North Hill spot, is dropping two mixed-use projects and carry to tackle the housing crunch. First up, Flat Iron, a seven-story build on Chatham Street in the West End with 213 apartments and over 5,000 square feet of over retail space. Nearby, 7,000 West End turns an old office into a five-story spot with up to 275 apartments and more retail on the ground floor. Together, they're adding nearly 500 homes. Flat Iron marks Cain's first residential plush right in downtown Cary, teaming up with local player McKeenan. It's packing amenities like a pool, rooftop deck, fitness center, and co-working lounge, always structure parking to keep things walkable. Meanwhile, 7,000 West End partners with high-wood properties to reuse the existing footprint, saving surface parking in those big trees as, a buffer for nearby homes. It includes a greenway link along West End Parkway and reserves 5% of units for folks at or below 80% area median income.

They've been chatting with town planners and neighbors for months. Both projects are navigating planning and rezoning now, setting Cary up for smarter growth that mixes homes, shops, and green space seamlessly.
