Apartments could rise on property where a bowling alley used to be on Shipyard Boulevard in Wilmington.

Plans submitted by a development company show 19 proposed buildings that would hold more than 450 apartments at 3907 Shipyard Blvd. The site plans also show two three-story buildings with a total of 43,600 square feet, marked "office/commercial" on the drawings.

The nearly 27-acre property used to hold Cardinal Lanes, a bowling alley that closed last year and was demolished.

The applicant listed on the site plans is Shipyard Apartments LLC, an entity managed by Mark Maynard of Wilmington-headquartered Tribute Companies. The parcel is owned by The Oleander Co., a different Wilmington-based development firm.

Tribute "has developed, constructed and managed over 6,000 multi-family units, as well as single-family, commercial and mixed-use properties in the regions of Wilmington, Charlotte, Charleston and Asheville," according to the company's website.

Efforts to reach a Tribute representative about the project were not immediately successful this week.

According to the city of Wilmington planning department, the site plans are currently under review.
