NORTHERN GATEWAY
The Northern Gateway project planned for downtown Wilmington is an example of a development that has stalled. Early on in the pandemic, in April last year, city officials said the $90 million public-private partnership would have to wait as they responded to the health and financial health crises brought about by COVID-19. Chapel Hill-based East West Partners has proposed building residential units, retail space, a hotel, a visitors center and parking on several city-owned properties at 1020, 908 and 922 N.

That estimate is likely to increase because of a rise in construction costs and materials in the past few years. Wilmington-based Swain & Associates added 20 rooms to the hotel at CenterPoint for a total of 220, and 70 units, for a total of 370, to an apartment complex planned for the development. CenterPoint’s construction is also waiting for the N.C. Department of Transportation to start projects for Military Cutoff and Eastwood roads. Meanwhile, the NCDOT is facing its own delays and funding issues.
