The Westin Hotel on the Riverfront is the latest example of how the Buccini Pollin Group is remaking the look and feel of Wilmington.
The Westin’s grand opening ceremony on Monday marked an important milestone for development in Wilmington: It’s the first new hotel in the city in decades. In addition, the structure serves as a sign of the Buccini Pollin Group’s footprint in Delaware’s largest city.
Over the past decade and a half, no developer has been as active as BPG in developing office, residential, retail and entertainment venues. A preeminent example is the Queen Theater, a concert venue on Market Street that serves as a major attraction in downtown Wilmington.
“It will bring a few hundred thousand people downtown that otherwise weren’t [coming to Wilmington],” said Chris Buccini, BPG co-president. Along with brother Rob and business partner Dave Pollin, Buccini has led BPG in developing millions of dollars worth of projects in Wilmington.
