About TidalWalk
TidalWalk sits on 106 acres, where construction began in 2007. It’s planned to feature 198 home sites and as of April 2015, the community is about 70% completed. The community’s original developers were Tim Wilson of Latheron & Gunn, Inc. and James Martin of Martin Development Group, both of Wilmington.
