The possibility of converting an aging downtown Wilmington office building topped the list of Delaware Business Now stories in February
The possible conversion of the Delaware Avenue building that had been popular with law practices reflects a high office vacancy rate in downtown Wilmington and more people choosing to reside in the area. Tenants are also moving to available Class A space.
Coming in second was Bank of America confirming that jobs at its remaining downtown employment site will move to its suburban centers by late 2025. City of Wilmington officials said they were aware of the bank’s plans.
No. 3 analyzed a homeowner’s legal actions related to a concrete plant near a popular Lewes-area community.
No. 15 on the list was news of a growth in the number of homes for sale, although the market remains tight despite higher interest rates.
The list was based on figures from Google and our network advertising provider Ezoic.
