Phase II Complete: Market West Grand Opening
The completion of Phase II at The Standard marks a key milestone in Wilmington’s revitalization. This new chapter strengthens Market West’s position as a premier destination for urban living, work, and play.
Market West: Setting the Standard for Downtown
On April 3rd, Buccini Pollin Group, highlighted by founder Chris Buccini, celebrated the grand opening of Market West. Joined by Mayor John Carney, key stakeholders, BPG associates, tenants, and Wilmington residents, the event marked the continued success of reinvigorating the downtown district with the new mixed-use campus. The Standard’s 450,000-square-foot transformation of the former Nemours Building, now known as 221 W Tenth, from strictly commercial to a residential mix, stands as the flagship of the neighborhood. Introducing 244 luxury apartments, Phase II adds even more style to the already elevated building, blending modern amenities with historic charm. Residents can now enjoy additional spaces, including an indoor fireplace, billiards room, expanded lounge areas, and a picturesque rooftop deck.
A Thriving Community at Market West
The completion of Phase II bolsters Market West’s appeal as a thriving destination for work and business. The commercial tenants located in 221 W Tenth along with The Standard, infuse the area with culture and vibrancy, while also creating employment and enrichment opportunities. Tenants like The Mill coworking space, Theatre N, Futures First Gaming and Cafe Mezzanote provide leisure, event space, and more. These businesses play a key role in shaping Market West as a dynamic live-work-play hub. Theatre N’s charitable benefit events and The Mill’s professional development programs are prime examples of how Market West tenants actively contribute to the community and foster growth in meaningful ways.

The Standard’s role in Market West extends beyond housing and employment. With luxury living spaces, modern amenities, and commercial offerings, The Standard is helping shape Wilmington’s future.
