A New Chapter in Coworking

The Mill expands to Seaford’s revitalized Nylon Capital Center

BY CARRIE DANNER

THE COWORKING SPACE, The Mill, is setting a new standard in coworking with its latest venture: a stunning ‘work resort’ that’s set to transform the local workspace scene.

The Mill at Concord Plaza and Market West are already renowned as the largest coworking spaces in Wilmington and its suburbs. The expansion to Seaford will make it the Mill’s third location.

The Mill at Market West opened in April 2016 and continues to grow and evolve. At all locations, The Mill promises a blend of productivity with comfort, whether inside the community space or outside on the terrace or patio—all locations have outdoor work areas. Overall, The Mill aims to create a hub where all can work, network, relax, and come together seamlessly in a beautiful space.

With the ‘hotelification’ of offices, the future of coworking is focused on amenities. The entire Nylon Capital Center campus— where The Mill’s Seaford location will be—will feature pickleball courts, a bowling alley, Vanderwende’s Farm Creamery, Community Bank Delaware, TidalHealth facilities, Delaware Tech Workforce Training, BrightBloom Center, retail options, restaurants, and more.

The Mill’s arrival in Seaford is a big win for the local business community. It offers a chic alternative to traditional home offices and generic workspaces, providing a dynamic environment where innovation and collaboration can take off. This expansion will energize local business activity and build a vibrant professional community.

This move is a key part of the Nylon Capital Center’s redevelopment, breathing new life into a historically significant site. Ninth Street Development Co. (9SDC), the visionary behind the redevelopment, spearheads this project with backing from the City of Seaford and the State of Delaware. The 218,000-square-foot Nylon Capital Center is being transformed into a multi-use campus designed to meet diverse community needs, including healthcare, education, banking, and flexible workspaces.

The redevelopment is all about economic growth and community development, aiming to make the region more appealing for businesses and residents. By joining forces with the Nylon Capital Center, The Mill is helping to create a versatile space that meets a wide range of needs, from work to wellness and recreation.

Looking back, The Mill’s founder, Robert Herrera, reflects on their impressive journey—from a 13,000-square-foot space in Wilmington’s The Mill at Market West to bustling locations like Concord Plaza and now Seaford. He’s excited about the growth and the opportunity to support startups and businesses, underlining The Mill’s mission to foster a vibrant, innovative community.

As Seaford looks to the future, the Nylon Capital Center’s revival symbolizes progress. It’s not just restoring a shopping center; it’s revitalizing the town, creating opportunities, and building a community space that reflects the needs and aspirations of its residents. The Mill and the Nylon Capital Center are poised to shape Seaford’s future, ushering in a new era of growth and opportunity for Sussex County.
