The owners of the entire city block of 11th and Market Streets in downtown Wilmington converted the existing 880,000-sf DuPont Building complex into a mixed-use live-work-play community. Now the property comprises of a world headquarters for a Fortune 500 company; Hotel DuPont; 198 residences at 101 DuPont Place; an eight-kitchen food hall; retail space; resident amenity spaces; rooftop terrace; historical common areas; and a renovated restaurant space joining the hotel. The multi-phase renovation of the 14-story development (originally built in 1913) transformed the building into a more integrated urban living space.
