BUCCINI POLLIN GROUP (BPG) recently celebrated the grand opening of The Press, a brand-new, 243-unit luxury apartment community in downtown Wilmington. Located in one of the city’s most dynamic neighborhoods, The Press represents a $90 million investment in Wilmington’s continued revitalization and marks the completion of BPG’s latest residential development.

The 14-story glass- and metal-clad residential tower offers a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments and duplexes. Designed by Perkins Eastman, the building’s name pays tribute to the site’s history as the former headquarters of The News Journal.

“The Press exemplifies our commitment to creating exceptional residential experiences in the heart of Wilmington,” says Rob Buccini, founder of Buccini Pollin Group. “This project represents more than just adding housing inventory — it’s about creating vibrant communities where residents can live, work, and thrive in downtown’s most connected locations.”

The contemporary apartment homes feature high-end finishes, including quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, in-unit washers and dryers, and expansive windows that provide abundant natural light. In addition to the luxury units, residents will enjoy access to a full suite of white-glove amenities, including an indoor lounge and communal kitchen; a fourth-floor roof deck with views of downtown Wilmington; a private exterior amenities space featuring a pool, dog run, grill areas, and social spaces; and an intimate, beautifully landscaped pocket park that is accessible to the public.

This milestone not only marks an exciting addition to downtown Wilmington, but also caps a year of unprecedented residential growth for BPG. In total, the organization has secured nearly $200 million in multifamily financing this year alone, with more than 1,000 units under development.

“Our momentum this year reflects not just market opportunity, but our deep understanding of what today’s residents need. By creating diverse housing options, we are serving Delaware’s growing workforce and attracting new residents to our region,” added Buccini.

BPG’s residential portfolio now encompasses over 3,200 units developed and 7,234 units under management through ResideBPG, the firm’s residential property management affiliate.
