WILMINGTON, NC – Middleburg Communities, a leading developer of rental housing throughout the Southeast and Sunbelt announced that it has secured construction financing for Mosby Barclay West, a 290-unit Class-A apartment community in Wilmington’s rapidly growing Midtown market. The development represents a joint venture partnership with Cincinnati-based Eagle Realty Group and marks Middleburg’s third development in Wilmington since 2021, following the successful completion of another Class A multifamily community, Mosby Riverlights, and Hamlet Barclay West, a 280-unit build-to-rent neighborhood currently under construction and delivering its first units in Spring 2025. Construction on Mosby Barclay West will commence immediately.
Mosby Barclay West will be strategically positioned within the Barclay West master plot, which at full buildout will feature a complementary mix of residential, retail and commercial uses. The community will be situated adjacent to Middleburg’s Hamlet at Barclay West, making a dynamic residential district that offers prospective residents choice between traditional apartment living and professionally managed single-family rental homes. Both communities will benefit from walkable access to The Pointe at Barclay, a thriving retail and entertainment destination featuring 150,000 square feet of space anchored by The Pointe 14 Theatre and numerous dining options. The property offers brilliant connectivity to major employment centers, with Downtown Wilmington, UNC Wilmington, and the region’s beaches all accessible within 15-20 minutes.
Wilmington has emerged as the fastest-growing rental market in the country since 2020, with the number of renter households increasing by 25.2% from 2020 to 2023, according to data from RealPage Market Analytics. This remarkable growth underscores the strong demand for rental housing in the area.
“Wilmington’s economic success and population inflows over the years have resulted in robust demand for high-quality rental communities like Mosby Barclay West,” said Spencer Merritt, Development Partner for the North Carolina region at Middleburg. Our investment in Wilmington reflects our strategy of expanding our presence in fundamentally strong Southeast markets with above-average job and population growth and sustained rental demand. By strategically positioning the project within the Barclay West master plot, it will be part of a vibrant, connected community that meets the evolving preferences of today s renters.
Mosby Barclay West will offer a variety of one, two and three-bedroom floorplans across five residential buildings, all with elevator access and conditioned corridors. Residents will delight in modern interiors with hard stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, shaker cabinets, tile backsplashes, in-unit washers and dryers, and luxury vinyl plank flooring. The community will provide an extensive array of amenities, including a clubhouse with a resort-style pool and fitness center, a dedicated dog park with a pet spa, and convenient features like electric vehicle charging stations, 24/7 package reception, and collaborative coworking spaces.
The project is slated to open in the summer of 2026. Upon commencement, Mosby Barclay West will join Middleburg’s active development pipeline, which currently includes 14 communities under construction throughout the Southeast and mid-Atlantic, totaling nearly 4,000 units.
