CREATE. CONTAIN. CONNECT.
Established in 2017, The Cargo District began as an incubation space for small businesses to find success and opportunities. We’re happy to say that all these years later, our community continues to evolve and redefine what it means to be a small business. Discover our local businesses, creative spaces, and exciting events that shape our unique community located in the heart of Downtown Wilmington.
A vibrant district made of repurposed shipping containers.
The choice to integrate shipping containers goes beyond construction; it's a deliberate step towards offering a living experience that attracts individuals seeking a blend of contemporary design, environmental consciousness, and a departure from the commonplace.
Innovative Urban Living Redefined
At The Cargo District, we reshape the traditional concept of construction. Developed by LS Smith Inc., this unique urban space pioneers a dynamic approach to architecture, utilizing shipping containers as the primary building components.
Over the past six years, LS Smith Inc. has led the transformation of this area into a thriving community, showcasing a commitment to innovation and sustainability. The Cargo District embraces shipping containers for their aesthetic allure and the ability to make a bold statement in a landscape dominated by typical structures. These containers serve as a unique medium, infusing a sense of creativity and modernity into every facet of The Cargo District.
