Christina Landing Apartment Tower and Town Houses
Wilmington, DE
378,600 SF
This residential development project on a seven-acre city block in downtown Wilmington, and conveniently located within walking distance to the Amtrak station, consists of a master plan and design for 63 townhouses, each with a two-car garage, and a 23-story residential tower with 178 units. The apartment tower is the tallest building on the south side of the Christina River and offers spectacular views of Wilmington and the Brandywine River Valley skyline. Paired with the structure’s cladding, a combination of brick, metal, and glass curtainwall assembly, this building is helping to reshape the waterfront district as a stylish abode for young professionals. Brick and horizontal cement-fiber siding along with gabled roofs and double-hung windows are used for the townhouses to evoke a traditional-looking element and add a sense of scale and proportion. Situated on the riverfront, these residential complexes target high-end professionals who greatly contribute to the city’s economic success.
