Porters Neck Crossing

This three-unit commercial retail building in Wilmington, NC was completed in October of 2024 on a 9-month schedule. The structure features a modern design with a mix of contemporary and traditional materials. The facade combines light beige brick and horizontal fiber cement siding in a neutral tan, accented by dark blue panels near the entry. Large floor-to-ceiling glass windows with aluminum frames enhance natural light and create an open, inviting feel. White cantilevered metal awnings and a steel-framed canopy supported by dark metal columns provide shade and weather protection for pedestrians.

The structure has a parapet roofline, giving it a clean, boxy profile with stepped sections to define individual tenant spaces. Concrete sidewalks wrap around the building, ensuring accessibility, while small landscape elements soften the hardscape. The signage, featuring internally lit channel lettering, adds visibility and a high-end aesthetic. This design blends functionality and curb appeal, making it well-suited for retail or restaurant use.

Ruth’s Chris Steak House

This 7,700 SF restaurant was completed in 2022 on a six-month schedule. Complicated upfit project converting 3rd story space in a 15-story building to a Ruth’s Chris restaurant with high end finishes, a retractable pergola for outdoor seating, and sophisticated hood and exhaust systems running 12 stories up. Team build project with LS3P and Design Elements.

My wife and I are really appreciative to McKinley Building Corporation for their assistance in helping us build our practice. I can say, without reservation, that if someone asks me about commercial contractors in the area, I would respond the same as my friend, “If I ever build more space, I won’t take bids, I’ll just call McKinley.”

Inside and out, the detail of the work was superior.

W. Keith Betts

If we were to make additional changes to our facility, there would be no question who we would call. I recommend McKinley Building Corporation enthusiastically.
