Proposed housing development near Mayfaire appears stalled
A proposed residential development in the Mayfaire area of Wilmington seems to have been put on hold. The proposed Mayfaire West development, featuring a mix of multifamily residences and townhomes, is expected to bring nearly 500 residential units to Wilmington. But public property records show no start date or permit applications listed for the project. The Greenville, North Carolina-based developer, BrodyCo, did not respond to several messages prior to deadline. What's proposed? Under the proposal announced in spring 2025, Mayfaire West would offer 256 apartments, 223 carriage houses and townhomes and nine acres of green space on unused land adjacent to Mayfaire Town Center and Autumn Hall. It would be located between Town Center Drive and Gregory Road. Plans for Mayfaire West include 44% of open space and 5.5 miles of new sidewalks and trails. Wilmington’s 15-mile, off-road Gary Shell Cross City Trail is to extend through Mayfaire West, connecting the main trail to the large Mayfaire area, making for a bike- and pedestrian-friendly environment, according to the Mayfaire West website. “It will provide safe and convenient bicycle and pedestrian access to recreational, cultural and educational destinations in Wilmington,” the website says.
