RALEIGH, N.C. — A sushi restaurant is the latest tenant announced for The Dillon, a mixed-use development in the downtown Warehouse District.

Kane Realty announced Monday that award-winning O-Ku Sushi plans to open there this summer. O-Ku was named one of the “Top 20 Best New Restaurants” by Esquire magazine in 2010, and a “Best Sushi Restaurant in the U.S.” by Travel + Leisure in 2013.

O-Ku has locations in Charleston, Atlanta and Charlotte. The menu will feature authentic Asian cuisine including sushi, sashimi and nigiri, hot entrees and other traditional Japanese dishes.

The Dillon, which is expected to be completed next year, includes an 18-story office tower with retail space and two six-story apartment buildings. It will take up an entire city block bound by South West, West Martin, South Harrington and West Hargett streets. In addition to O-Ku Sushi, The Dillon will also house Heirloom Brewshop, a specialty coffee shop, premium tea house and sake bar, and Barcelona Wine Bar.

Weaver Street Market announced in December that it would also be opening a location in The Dillon.
