BRAND STRATEGYCMC is approved to develop and operate upper-upscale and luxury hotels, including Marriott’s Autograph Collection and Hyatt’s Thompson. If selected, we will conduct a structured brand evaluation, including in-depth review of each brand’s standards, positioning, residential integration approach, and financial performance, supported by targeted tours of relevant comparable properties and direct engagement with brand leadership. Both brands have demonstrated success incorporating residential components, which aligns well with this site’s mixed-use potential. Based on preliminary assessment, Autograph is expected to provide greater flexibility for a distinctive, design-forward concept and may support stronger projected returns; however, we will validate this through diligence and underwriting prior to final brand selection.12

With the Raleigh-Durham region experiencing extraordinary economic and population growth, and North Hills rapidly evolving into one of the Southeast’s most dynamic mixed-use lifestyle centers, we see this as a premier opportunity to introduce a brand that thrives on cultural energy, creativity, and modern expression. The Innovation District’s blend of walkability, experiential retail, and next-generation office and residential offerings aligns seamlessly with the hallmarks of Hyatt’s lifestyle brands. Collaborating with CMC on this project would not only position Hyatt at the heart of one of the region’s most forward-looking developments but also reinforce our commitment to bringing exceptional lifestyle hospitality to markets defined by momentum and innovation. Founded in 1957, Hyatt Hotels has grown into a global hospitality leader with nearly 1,500 hotels across more than 80 countries. Built on a foundation of family and care, Hyatt’s core value—“We care for people so they can be their best”—continues to guide our approach to hospitality. Today, our reach is amplified by more than 60 million members of World of Hyatt, our award‑winning loyalty program, who enjoy access to extraordinary destinations and personalized experiences across luxury, lifestyle, resort, and all‑inclusive brands. Hyatt’s history in hospitality is defined by a commitment to creating authentic connections, offering guests not only remarkable locations but also thoughtfully curated experiences that reflect the character of each community. This blend of global scale and local authenticity underscores Hyatt’s enduring mission to serve guests with care, comfort, and memorable journeys. We look forward to exploring this opportunity further and to delivering a truly one‑of‑a‑kind experience in North Hills.

NHID Hotel Raleigh NCTest Fit Study (Rev. D) . January 2026 3Project SummaryNotes:This is a preliminary test fit study, which will require additional development to validate. Please note that this study is based upon scaled civil PDF drawings rather than a CAD site survey, and so dimensional, topographic, or other inaccuracies, easements, utilities, or other constraints may be discovered as the project progresses and may influence the final yield.This is a high-rise project, which will entail pressurised stairwells, elevator lobbies, a fire control room, and other life-safety measures above and beyond those required for a lowrise building.All square footage figures are gross figures up to the exterior face of exterior walls. Shafts and columns have not been subtracted from these figures. Outdoor covered and uncovered patio space at the first, fourth, and twentieth floors are not included in the gross figures.Test fit assumes a maximum of 499 occupants on upper floors; if this figure is exceeded, extending the third third stair will most likely be required.Structural and mechanical design will impact parking layout and may reduce parking count.Parking counts shown are predicated upon the use of car stackers, tandem, and/or valet parking. Single-vehicle self park would yield fewer spaces.This study assumes 9 (nine) elevators:3 Hotel Elevators.3 Residential Elevators, 1 of which provides access directly to the parking levels.1 Express elevator to elevated amenity level and roof restaurant level.1 Freight-sized Service Elevator.26
