Wildwoods Construction Update – Jan 2024
It is a new year which means it is time for the first Wildwoods Construction Update video of 2024.
This video will be a bit different since we will be visiting projects we haven’t talked about yet. (See video at the bottom of the article)
Wildwoods Construction Update – Jan 2024
It’s a running joke that it is the year that the current year is most construction projects taking place in the wildwoods, but in reality, this is the most we have seen, trumping last year’s off-season.
The Madison Resort in Wildwood Crest has purchased the Royal Hawaiian the next block over and will combine it with the Oceanview Motel to make the largest resort in Cape May County. No matter which building you have your reservation in, you can use the amenities in both towers. Both of these buildings will be ready to go by Memorial Day Weekend.
The Wildwood Crest Lifeguard Station rehabilitation is going smoothly. The new roof is currently being framed out while new concrete was laid outside the building.
Demolition of the Ocean Sands motel is well underway with more than half of the motel fully removed. They hope to have the land completely cleared by the end of January so that work on the Tiki Bars can be underway.
The Binns and Bonito Motel, are becoming the Vibes Hotel and Motel. These motels were acquired by the team behind the Waves Motel, Tropicana Motel, and Monaco Motel. Crews have gutted the buildings and have started to install the new windows.

The Wildwood Boardwalk Reconstruction project is moving fast. Fred and his crews have finished most of the work from Oak to Schellenger Ave. From Schellenger Ave heading south, crews just started laying down the wood. The Cedar Ave connector already has its pilings in place with the main beams now being laid.
The progress is moving so fast that it is estimated that crews could be done the main boardwalk near Easter.
The Wildwoods Convention Center has removed their sign from their building. They will be refurbishing it and reinstalling it in the coming months.
Kay’s Oasis, a 17-unit townhouse project located at 400 Magnolia Avenue, is making progress with the construction of its southern units. Those units are now getting their siding installed this week.
Domino’s Pizza is coming to the Wildwood boardwalk at the Papi’s Taco location at Magnolia and the Boardwalk.
No word on if this will be their permanent new location or if it is just seasonal.
