Part 1 | Saltwater Resort, The Hive, and Cape Fear Ventures

Topsail Insider

We have our long-time sponsor and owner of Saltwater Suites, Dr. Richard Stroupe, joining Topsail Insider once again! This time, we’re talking about the Grand Opening of his second Saltwater property, Saltwater Resort! He shares the hurdles he’s faced and subsequent delays with this project, the similarities and differences between the two properties, and the excitement over the property's new Event Center.
Be sure to listen to Part 2 where Richard discusses The Hive, a boutique hotel he recently acquired in downtown Wilmington. He also offers valuable insights into investing, the Wilmington market, and his venture capital firm, Cape Fear Ventures.
