I love River Place the new retail apartment and condo development.  That is a great addition to  Wilmington's downtown. 

Also a huge upgrade compared to the parking deck that previously consumed the entire site.  Hopefully at some point, the parking lots along Princess St (one block south of River Place) will be redeveloped so that there is a mostly seamless stretch of urbanity along Water St.

Concern in downtown Wilmington about vacant properties many which are restaurants bars etc. due to Covid shutdowns.

I will be there in Dec. and check it out but enough good stuff is still happening downtown in terms of new apartments and hotels and as a leisure location mainly it has better occupancy than most cities now.

I'll also be there in December for the Holidays. I'll make sure to take photos and do a walk around. Know a couple business owners down there.

Downtown Wilmington is going through an apartment boom and it is great.  Pier 33, the recently completed Sawmill Point and across the street from them there is Lofts apartments.  Plus the new apartments and condos at RiverPlace.  Photos from yesterday. 

Lots of new apartments downtown especially on the north side along the river is bringing so much life to downtown.  

first photos are Pier 33.   These apartment complexes are like those in Charlotte's Southend or Raleigh's Glenwood South.

this is south of downtown but close.  From the Triangle Biz Journal today

""The creators of Raleigh’s Transfer Co. Food Hall will take their concept to the coast to bring a new multi-venue gathering space to Wilmington. Monarch Property Co. plans to open Seaboard Social Hall at 1315 S. 5th Ave., in the coastal cities old National Linen Service building downtown, the Raleigh-based firm announced Thursday.  The 43,000-square-foot facility will include a food hall, music hall, maker’s market, commissary kitchen and ghost kitchens – restaurants without the dining space. The social hall is the first of its kind for the port city, according to the firm.""

another story on this and I hope this comes together it is very ambitious.   But you have to wonder why this other side of the river is not being developed and I know it more subject to flooding but you can build it high enough it should be fine.  

Wilmington could soon have skyscrapers along Cape Fear River (starnewsonline.com)
