area will continue to grow and include a new convention center, a river board-
walk, two marina condo projects and several more residential buildings. “When the amenities are in place, the
people will come,” Madonna McMa- hon, an agent with ReMAX Coastal Properties, says, referring to the busi- nesses that have opened in the area. “There is a personal trainer, a coffee shop and a florist. There is so much growth.”
RIGHT ON TRACK In the same area as The Modern Bak-
ing Company is another loft develop- ment with a decidedly different flair. Also constructed by Plantation Builders, The Weldon brings back the Art Deco era with a modern bent. The blue neon backlighting the building’s name is just the beginning. Bamboo hardwoods give an edgy look to living areas accented by black-on-black appliances, deco trim, contemporary cabinets and chic, under- stated lighting. “The Weldon used to be a furniture
store, and the building is named for the railroad track from Wilmington to
Weldon,” McMahon says. “It was the longest track at the time (mid-1830s).” Each unit at The Weldon features two
paint colors, lever-style door handles and ceiling fans. Most also include a separate study and storage areas. The flats offer high 10-foot ceilings, and the lofts have soaring 20-foot ceilings.
JUDGED LUXURIOUS Another property with a history is
Bannerman Station, named for Judge William Tate Bannerman. Once residential, the homes on the site were razed to make way for an Art Moderne- style bus terminal. Today, Bannerman Station is an opulent residential build- ing reminiscent of New York City. “The condos are all breathtaking,”
says McMahon. “The building is mod- eled after a place on Park Avenue, and it is very luxurious.”
