Board approves sale of 28.84 acres to Project White House for proposed hotel development
Summary
The Brunswick County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution authorizing a real estate purchase agreement to convey approximately 28.84 acres (tax map parcel 62‑30) to Project White House Development LLC for a hotel project, subject to conditions in the agreement and final approvals.
The Brunswick County Board of Supervisors voted Feb. 26 to approve a real‑estate purchase agreement that would convey approximately 28.84 acres (county tax map parcel 62‑30) near U.S. Highway 58 and Cattail Drive to Project White House Development LLC for a planned hotel and related development.
County Attorney summarized the legal background for the agreement and said earlier related agreements had been terminated; the new purchase agreement sets a closing no later than June (year specified in the contract) contingent on conditions contained in the agreement and contemplates an initial roughly two‑year timeline for hotel development, with a possible two‑year extension. The Industrial Development Authority of Brunswick County is a party to the agreement and the IDA will need to consider the contract as part of the process.
Christopher Suber, representing the project development team, briefed the board earlier in the meeting and said the team is finalizing agreements and anticipates beginning civil work after approvals, with a projected schedule that aims for a ground‑breaking and subsequent project milestones; he said the developer is coordinating with a hotel operator (Wyndham group) on architectural permitting and vertical construction and that a tentative opening was targeted in January 2027 if approvals proceed on schedule.
The board heard the County Attorney read a prepared resolution that finds the conveyance is in the county’s best interest for economic development and authorizes the County Administrator to execute the agreement with minor changes approved after consultation with counsel. A motion to adopt the resolution was made and seconded and the board approved it.
The resolution states that conveyance is intended to facilitate economic development, and the County Administrator was authorized to execute, acknowledge and deliver the real estate purchase agreement. The County Attorney noted the agreement describes closing timing, development timelines and conditions precedent; supervisors were offered the opportunity for additional discussion before voting.
Record of the meeting shows the board approved the resolution; the County Administrator and the developer indicated subsequent administrative steps (including IDA review) would follow.
