CRISP - Residence Inn
Chestnut Run Innovation and Science Park - Wilmington, DE
You may have seen some activity at the infamous Chestnut Run Plaza, formerly a du Pont research park located on Route 141. We are the engineer of Record for the development of the most visible project on the site, a new Residence Inn Hotel. The site is active with cranes and crews building the elevator shafts and first floor.
Deeper into the site, Merck is in the process of performing their preliminary site work to construct a new Research and Lab facility. At one time, duPont and Merck were a conglomerate that has since disbanded, but in a year or so will be located mere steps from one another.
CDA principal, Colmcille DeAscanis is pictured here attending the groundbreaking ceremony. The project is a $1 Billion 470,000 SF state-of-the-art biologics center comprised of laboratories, manufacturing and warehouse capabilities that will enable the launch and commercial production of next generation biologics and therapies including potent antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs).
