Shovel-ready thinking, midtown price: ±0.77 acres (33,612 SF) of CS-zoned land on the Wrightsville Avenue corridor at $907K/acre - with the expensive unknowns already answered. The seller has completed a survey, soil and infiltration testing, and a Brownfields Assessment Work Plan, with recorded land use restrictions in place and the site enrolled in the NC Brownfields Program - a framework that provides liability protection for new owners and may qualify redevelopment improvements for North Carolina's brownfields property tax incentive. This is a de-risked path to development, not a question mark. The concept: an approximately 8,370 SF, four-story mixed-use building - ground-floor commercial with three residential levels above and approximately 38 parking spaces - designed for a renter-majority trade area minutes from Independence Mall, Forest Hills, and Wilmington's medical and employment centers. Midtown Wilmington continues to densify, and CS zoning supports a broad range of commercial and mixed-use outcomes beyond the concept shown. The seller is offering a $50,000 remediation credit with an acceptable offer, effectively pricing the environmental work into the deal. Full due diligence package - survey, soils, Brownfields documentation, and concept plan - available to qualified buyers. High-visibility frontage on one of midtown's most traveled corridors. Bring your site plan or build the one already envisioned. Full due diligence materials are available to qualified buyers.
