New Castle, DE [June 5, 2025] – NAI Emory Hill, a member of the world’s premier network of commercial real estate firms, is pleased to announce that Rich Dudek, SIOR, represented the tenant, Opportunity Center, Inc., in a long-term lease renewal and expansion at the Wilmington Riverfront Shipyard Center located at 900-1072 Justison Street. 

Dudek has a longstanding relationship with Opportunity Center Inc., having represented them when they first opened the ServiceSource Delaware Riverfront Community Center in 2014, again during their lease renewal in 2019, and now for this latest transaction, which more than doubles their footprint. The organization has expanded into a total of 5,621 square feet at the Shipyard Center.

Opportunity Center Inc. operates the ServiceSource Delaware Riverfront Community Center at this location, a vibrant and inclusive space serving individuals with disabilities and the greater Wilmington community. The Center offers a wide range of programs and services including employment support, enrichment activities, wellness programs, and community engagement initiatives designed to foster independence and enhance quality of life. 

“Securing a long-term lease renewal and expansion in this unique waterfront location ensures ServiceSource can continue its vital mission and deepen its impact in the region,” said Dudek. “This space will allow the organization to expand its impact and continue providing resources to individuals throughout the region.”

The Shipyard Center, owned and managed by Pettinaro, is positioned along Wilmington’s growing Riverfront district and offers a dynamic environment with a mix of commercial, retail, and recreational amenities.
