Adams said the retailer has "a couple of other I'm going to call it urban mixed-use sort of stacked projects so I think they understand the implications and complexity of working in downtown environments."
He said he doesn't think the delivery portion "will be anything dissimilar from what we ended up doing down at the Wilson Center," the Cape Fear Community College humanities and fine arts center, which LS3P also designed.
Conversations about the safety, transportation and other technical aspects of the project are going to continue with the city, the retailer and the development team, meeting participants said Thursday. The property is zoned Central Business District (CBD) and will be expected to conform to CBD design rules, which Adams said he is confident can be done.
A "Coming Soon" sign at the property placed by Cameron Management says "Parking Deck, Hotel, Retail and Residential Condos." Kirkpatrick said the development team has not yet made a final determination on whether the units will be apartments or condominiums.
As the technical details continue to be worked out, Kirkpatrick could not offer a specific timeline for when the project might start, but the development is expected to take about 15 to 18 months to build. Kirkpatrick's Riverbend #1 LLC bought the property, which includes the Bank of America office building, in 2015.
