damn. shouldve been a supertall

I'd like to see much taller than what is proposed, but asking for a supernal in Wilmington, DE is too much for that small city.

I know, sorry that was my attempt at humor

"WILMINGTON – Just three months after breaking ground on its last apartment project, the Buccini/Pollin Group (BPG) officially began work on a new $90 million project at the corner of 8th and Orange streets in the city’s central business district. The 243-unit complex called The Press will replace a former Wilmington Parking Authority parking lot"

^Thanks, Marcos. :cheers:

I'm liking the density of that area, it's growing well, and soon we will see a more thriving downtown, if this keeps up we can expect influx of more people, and more companies which can lead to more taller buildings.

Drilling - construction is full steam ahead:

Looking good!

BPG keeps rolling along in downtown Wilmington, between The Press (this one), The Standard - Nemours Building apt conversion, and Humble Park project under construction, looking at something like 600 new apartments currently under construction in downtown Wilmington from BPG alone.

Nice to see a crane in Downtown Wilmington again...

Great shots, it's moving along quickly, Market St already has a different energy with more movement now, now it's time for later business hours
