Part 2 | Saltwater Resort, The Hive, and Cape Fear Ventures

Topsail Insider

In Part 2, we discuss how and why Richard dove even deeper into the hospitality industry with his new hotel in downtown Wilmington - a luxe little haven called The Hive. It has 15 uniquely decorated suites with an artistic, urban feel that exemplifies the Wilmington vibe along the Cape Fear riverfront. Hear how this gem caught his attention and why he'll carry on the original owner’s vision.
And let’s get a quick lesson on investing, venture capital, and how Richard decides where to allocate Cape Fear Venture’s dollars. Richard also gives his thoughts on tech startups and the Wilmington market.
Before we wrap things up, Richard offers his thoughts on a Topsail hot topic - real estate development and continued growth in the region.
