Wilmington-based developer, The Buccini/Pollin Group, Inc. (BPG), and BPGS Construction last week held a bottoming out ceremony at the future site of Mid Town Parking and The Residences at Midtown Park.
The site is at 820 Orange Street in downtown Wilmington.
The ceremony celebrated the bottoming out of the excavated site that will hold the below-grade, four level parking garage consisting of five hundred and eleven spaces, reaching its final depth at 45 feet deep, 190 feet wide and 229 feet long.
The excavation is the deepest in the City of Wilmington in more than 25 years and marks a milestone in redevelopment downtown as it is also the first subterranean parking garage in the city.
In addition to the below-grade parking facility, the development includes the creation of Burton Place Passageway, 12,751 square feet of retail space and a two hundred unit, state-of-the-art apartment community, The Residences at Mid-town Park.
