Offsite Tour Option - DuPont Building

Seiberlich Trane Energy Services is sponsoring a tour of the historic DuPont Building. The DuPont Building has been a landmark in downtown Wilmington since 1908. The longtime headquarters for the DuPont Company, the 1,000,000 square foot building was purchased by The Buccini/Pollin Group (BPG) in 2017 to convert into a mixed-use facility consisting of a hotel, luxury apartments, a theater, retail, and offices. BPG partnered with Seiberlich Trane Energy Services to modernize the facility’s infrastructure and improve tenant comfort. The project leveraged Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) financing, the first project to do so in the state of Delaware. The tour is limited to the first 35 full conference registrations.
