Raleigh's Standard Beer + Food to open second location

Details: Standard will include 5,600 square feet of indoor space and another 15,000 square feet of outdoor space. That is the largest amount of outdoor space for any North Hills tenant, Kane says.

• Kane and Standard didn't provide an estimated opening date for the restaurant, but portions of the 33-acre innovation district will be completed this summer, including a 322,000-square-foot office building called Tower 5.

Why it matters: Standard is the latest of the Triangle's downtown-born restaurants to expand to one of the region's new mixed-use developments.

• Earlier this month, Brewery Bhavana announced it would open a location in Cary's Fenton shopping district, which has already landed new restaurants from chefs Michael Lee and Scott Crawford.
