Wildwoods Construction Update – Nov 2023
As the tri-state area braces for colder temperatures, the Wildwoods are experiencing a construction frenzy that promises to reshape the island’s landscape in preparation for the upcoming summer.
This off-season is poised to be one of the busiest in recent memory, with an unprecedented number of projects in progress or presented at zoning board meetings.
Diverse ventures ranging from new motels to Tiki Bars and Condominiums are underway, hinting at a significant transformation by the time summer 2024 arrives. Streets that were once familiar may be unrecognizable, adorned with exciting new projects that showcase the innovation and vision of local business owners.
To capture the evolution, the Wildwood Video Archive diligently documents these projects during the off-season, allowing residents to witness the incredible developments from the comfort of their homes.

In this month’s video recap, the Wildwood Video Archive explores several new construction sites, including the Residences at Pacific and SouthView, alongside perennial favorites such as Madison Resort and the Wildwood Boardwalk Reconstruction project.
The November 2023 Wildwoods Construction Update provides a detailed account of the ongoing developments.
Madison Resorts: Transforming the Oceanview Motel
One standout project is Madison Resorts, injecting $12 million into the redevelopment of the old Oceanview motel on Rambler Road in Wildwood Crest. The ambitious plan includes 108 rooms spread across four floors and 90,000 square feet, featuring 90 spacious suites.
Recent updates reveal progress in the pool area and the installation of new windows in each room. With construction moving steadily, a late Spring opening in 2024 is anticipated.
Wildwood Boardwalk Reconstruction
The Wildwood Boardwalk Reconstruction project, momentarily halted due to a lawsuit, is back on track. Fred and his dedicated crews are diligently working on phases III, IV, and V, covering the boardwalk stretch between Oak Avenue and Spicer Avenue.
These phases continue the momentum from the past two years, with completion scheduled for early May 2024.
Wildwood Boardwalk Mall
The recently purchased Wildwood Boardwalk Mall is undergoing a significant facelift under new ownership. The exterior, once adorned with art by Russell Simmons, is now painted navy blue. Interior renovations are underway, with Splash House confirmed as the first new business.
The revitalization promises a fresh and inviting atmosphere for visitors.
The Residences At Pacific
The Residences At Pacific held a groundbreaking ceremony, marking the commencement of a project converting the former Shamrock Beef and Beer lot into 20 residential units.
These retreat-like vacation homes will consist of 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, with a projected completion date set for summer 2024.
SouthView Condominiums
SouthView Condominiums, located at 301 E Wildwood Avenue, is gearing up for construction in late fall/early winter. This project, featuring sixteen units divided into two towers, includes a central pool area. Residents will enjoy assigned parking in an underground garage, personal storage closets, and outdoor showers.
The Wildwoods are undergoing a remarkable transformation during this off-season, with a multitude of projects shaping the island’s future.
