Here are pictures of construction projects in the area in and around Wilmington's Center City section. I have split this off from the Riverfront pictures, in order to allow for faster loading.

I added a final picture of the Renaissance Center, which was completed a couple months ago.

A recent picture of the 4W5 Building was added. The Lippincott Building, on Market Street between 3rd & 4th Streets, was added.

I added pictures from the weekend of the 4W5 Building and the Lippincott Building.

You can see some of the work that they have done on the other 4W5 buildings, next to the corner building, if you look at the most recent and then the first pictures. Spray paint has been removed, and new windows are in. The other buildings are starting to look well.

Market Street will make for an amazing walk once all the buildings are renovated like the 4W5. Looks promising. :)

I changed the name of the 4W5 Building to 421 Market Street, which is what Buccini/Pollin is calling it. I also addded a picture of 421 Market Street, which looks like it is done being renovated.

I added a picture of the Lippincott from about a month ago. The windows are being put on, and it's looking a lot nicer.

I added a picture of the Lippincott from earlier this month.

The Lippincott building is apparently finished. I put a new picture up of it, although I need to include the entire block the next time.

I added the Shipley Lofts and a couple pictures of it.

Got any new pics of the Shipley Lofts?

Not right now, but I was able to add a new picture of the Lippincott Building. I also added Pettinaro's project at the old courthouse, although I'm not sure of the official name just yet.

Pictures of the Shipley Lofts were added.

why some picture i could not see,anyway thanks for sharing

That WSF building is nice except for that crappy base floor. What's up with that?

Great photos. I like the way you put them in chronological order and show the progress on each project. Wilmington seems to have a lot going on and is really looking good.

I like the WSFS Bank Building from the front as well. The back doesn't look too great but it's tough to make things look good on all sides. That little extension is the downtown post office, which was moved there one the building was completed because it would then have more room. It looks bad in these pictures because that's the side of it; the entrance fronts up against a small plaza.

Thanks! Not much going on now; the boom is over. There's only a couple projects under construction, either in Center City or at the Riverfront, but a highrise that could threaten our tallest could begin soon.

I've been hesitant to call it an official project, since the story came out on April 1, but Pettinaro still has the building up as one of its projects. On their website, it says that construction will begin in 2010.

Here's hoping!

I am no architect....but am I the only one who thinks that the Wilmington Trust Center building could have been incorporated better into the historic building that wraps its base?? Maybe the new tower will do a better job of blending the architecture of the old and new building...or am I missing something?

I added the Queen Theatre to this thread, now that renovations have started.

New pics ? :cheers:

New pics ? :cheers:

I do have a new one, actually, but just haven't gotten around to putting it up yet. The picture of the Queen Theatre should be up within a couple hours.

I added recent pictures of the Shipley Lofts and Queen Theatre today.

I added a recent picture of the Shipley Lofts, and added several pictures from two separate days of the Queen Theatre.

Summer updates from the Queen Theatre were added.

The Wilmington Hospital expansion has now been included in this thread.

I added pictures of the Shipley Lofts and the Queen Theatre from late August. The Shipley Lofts are now inhabited and so I'm finished with it.

A picture from yesterday of the Wilmington Hospital expansion was also included.

I added two springtime pictures of the hospital addition.

Do you by any chance have photos of the Market Street Mall before it was reopened to vehicles?

Unfortunately not
