Water Street Development

[rancenc 2115]

Hopefully this project will take off.  Wilmington definitely needs to have more downtown development.

I remember thinking about how dilapidated that parking deck looked when I'd occasionally park on the lower level of it when going to class at CFCC like 15 years ago....anything is better than what is there now!

Seems to be progressing...Apparently there are some reservations concerning the height of the development.

I really like this project. Will look good and serves alot of purposes. I'm not sure why they changed the rendering, the second looks a little more plain, boring. I like the 18 story version better, adds a little more spice to DT Wilmington. You wonder what people have against tall buildings.

This looks like a great new development along Water Street and the key to a healthy downtown is residential and this provides some. Great project. http://www.wilmingtonnc.gov/city_manager/special_projects/water_street_deck

Having more retail and residential right in the heart of downtown will spur lots of growth.

Demo delayed of Water St deck but good news should happen soon. Half the condos are under contract and 1/2 of the commercial space is leased. This will be a great new project for the city. http://www.wilmingtonbiz.com/real_estate_-_commercial/2017/07/05/water_street_deck_demolition_delayed/16300?utm_source=MadMimi&utm_medium=email&utm_content=WilmingtonBiz_com+Wednesday+Update&utm_campaign=20170705_m140225567_07%2F05%2F2017+WilmingtonBiz_com+Wednesday+Update&utm_term=Water+Street+deck+demolition+delayed

Thanks. Having people in Wilmington who can better keep up with these development is really helpful. Hopefully downtown can start seeing even more developments such as this spring up and add density to the skyline.

River Place is rising about half way up or less.  Today downtown Wilmington.

I have been to all 100 counties from Murphy to Manteo and every county in between.

Just announced today Mellow Mushroom is opening a new location in RiverPlace in downtown Wilmington.  This 13 story condo apartment tower is going to look HUGE on the Wilmington skyline as it so close to the river.

If you ever run for governor, I’m voting for you, KJ.  You’re everywhere in NC.

Since it's been awhile, here's some renders of the River Place project.    The first shot is from a city status report, August 2019.
