Our Size Fits All
Downtown Wilmington is an ideal location for businesses of all sizes. Whether you're a one-person shop or a corporate headquarters, our downtown will suit your needs. Home to city government offices as well as federal and county courthouses, downtown is the heart of our city. You'll find the main branches of most major banks here, as well as a full range of business services and conference facilities. Getting here is a breeze, with immediate highway access to all major points in the Southeast. You'll find downtown is a short drive to the airport as well as the beaches, and pretty much everywhere in between. The pedestrian-friendly Riverwalk - an approximately one mile boardwalk that frames the Cape Fear River - brings a steady flow of foot traffic to the area. And since downtown offers both metered parking and several convenient decks, access is easy for visitors and locals alike
The Harmony of Old & New
Working in beautiful downtown Wilmington almost feels like play. A skyline of ornate steeples frames an area rich with landmark buildings, pristinely restored historic homes, and lots of southern charm. Walking along a street still paved with its original bricks, you'll marvel at the harmony between historic artifacts and modern day advancements. The mighty Cape Fear River beckons, boasting a Riverwalk that will eventually span from bridge to bridge. Having a bustling business district just outside your office is invigorating, not to mention inspiring. Shopping, dining, and entertainment choices abound, as do friendly locals, gorgeous views, and the feeling that you've found the perfect balance between the past and future.
