Developer Proposes Retail Building Off South College Road

By Cece Nunn, posted Feb 6, 2015
A developer plans to build a 46,000-square-foot "grocery store" on 5 acres of undeveloped land off South College Road, according to the Feb. 19 agenda for Wilmington’s Technical Review Committee.

Bragg Road Development Co. and Gordon Kolb Jr. want to put the structure, along with 219 parking spaces, at 716 Bragg Drive, which is near the 3500 block of South College Road, according to site plans on the city’s project tracking website.

The engineer and applicant is Bluewater Civil Designs of Greenville, South Carolina, and the architect is Jared Ducote of Pensacola, Florida, the site plans state.

While the agenda calls the proposed building a grocery store, site plans refer to it as “proposed retail.”

Messages left for Kolb and Jim Diepenbrock, the city planner assigned to the project according to the TRC agenda, were not immediately returned Friday. An email address and the development company’s physical address listed on the site plans indicate that Kolb is affiliated with New Orleans-based G.H.K. Developments Inc.  

A photo gallery of projects at the G.H.K. Developments Inc. website displays 12 Walgreens stores in North Carolina, including one in Porters Neck.

The TRC plans to review the proposal at 9:15 a.m. during its Feb. 19 meeting in the traffic conference room at 305 Chestnut St., according to the agenda.
