Partnerships & Teamwork at All Levels EDiS Delivers the Wilmington Transit Center The Wilmington Transit Center (WTC), located at Front and Walnut Streets, is a $10 million-dollar project constructed as part of a public-private partnership (P3) between DelDOT, Delaware Transit Corporation, and Transit Center, LLC (Colonial Parking, EDiS Company, and Emory Hill Real Estate Services, Inc.) Designed by Tevebaugh Architects and engineered by Duffield Associates, DESMAN, and Blake & Vaughan Engineering, the WTC is strategically located adjacent to Wilmington’s Joseph R. Biden Rail Station, which provides convenient access to Amtrak, SEPTA, Greyhound/Trailways, and cabs. Working on this project as a P3 required teamwork and meticulous execution among the development team, who needed to work as one to complete the task at hand. In addition to multiple team members and stakeholders externally, EDiS was also coordinating our internal teams. While EDiS served as the construction manager, several of our internal divisions also participated in the WTC design and construction. This was a true team effort, both inside and out.
EDiS Company served as a P3 Principal Participant in Transit Center, LLC and provided pre-construction and construction phase services.
