The Project

The Riverfront Town Center was designed to energize Shallotte’s Central Business District—the economic, civic, and cultural core of the community—and provide access to the beautiful Shallotte River. To help realize this goal, the Town contracted with Traditional Neighborhood Development Partners, LLC, of Durham, NC, to develop a transformative Town Center on approximately 20 acres in the center of Shallotte. The mixed-use Town Center plan followed new urbanist principles and will include dining, retail stores, apartments and houses, offices, an inn, and civic buildings. Visitors to the Riverfront Town Center would have been able to enjoy exploring a series of public plazas, parks, and a Riverwalk along the Shallotte River—all connecting to the Town’s new Mulberry Park and the planned Brunswick County Blueway and Greenway systems.
