I think we’ll have many cranes two years from now!
Sounds like they are still waiting on a big fish tenant. I presume once they land one things will move quickly. That is a big if, but at least they are still optimistic to make it happen.
across from the Zimmer site, John Kane developed the sprawling Smokey Hollow complex of offices
I hope you are right!
Look around and you can see all the hypothetical construction!
So Any news on this project?
Birds still chirping…
When does Zimmer breaks ground
No pending plans for development that I’m aware of. I believe they’re still looking for an anchor tenant.
The tenant market has been changed forever do to Covid.
Zimmer is from Wilmington and it’s massive project in that area did not get the zoning it requested. Maybe they can finally focus on this project instead.
Didn’t realize they’re the ‘sister company’ of Reed’s Jewelers…
20 plus stories on that spur of land across the river from ILM downtown would be an even bigger WTH than a 40 story tower inbound from Capital Bouly
that sounds like a dumb project. ugly towers built on marsh land on a highway and not walkable to anywhere.
But it’s boatable
That spit of land is about 15’ above sea level. Seems like boatability might be more important in 25 years anyway…
Naw man Elon musk is gonna ship all the extra water to Mars
I actually think that a development like this is not a bad idea, and is in fact bound to happen someday; it’s been proposed off and on for decades.
Concerned about flooding? Just build it on fill.
Being a quick water taxi ride away from downtown Wilmington actually gives better car-free access to walkable areas than most places across the river in Wilmington itself. The water taxi serves the dock by the Battleship every 30 minutes, and it’s just a few minutes’ ride over to Wilmington.
Keep clicking on this topic thinking it’s new updates on the Zimmerman development
Nope, it’s just about Wilmington!
I’ve been doing the same hahaha…
