Corteva celebrates ribbon cutting of new corporate office at bpg's 1000 N West. April 2, 2026 Move marks return of legacy company to Downtown Wilmington. WILMINGTON, DE - April 1, 2026 - Buccini Pollin Group, Inc. (BPG) welcomed Corteva (NYSE: CTVA), a global agriculture company, into its new corporate office at 1000 N West in Downtown Wilmington with a ribbon cutting ceremony held March 31. Corteva signed a long-term lease to occupy 45,000 square feet across two floors of the 18-story building in October 2025. The event featured remarks from Chuck Magro, Chief Executive Officer, Corteva; and Chris Buccini, Founder, Buccini Pollin Group. A celebratory lunch was held following the remarks to welcome Corteva's 200+ employees to their new, state-of-the-art office. BPG has now leased over 200,000 square feet at 1000 N West, formerly known as the Brandywine Building, since 2018. The addition of Corteva continues record-breaking activity for BPG, which has leased more than 457,000 square feet of commercial office space across its portfolio in the last 12 months. "Welcoming Corteva and its hundreds of employees back to DuPont's roots in Downtown Wilmington is a meaningful, full circle moment for our city," said Chris Buccini, founder of Buccini Pollin Group. "The millions we've invested in renovations and capital approvements across downtown were made with exactly this goal in mind - fostering a vibrant, amenity-rich environment to attract and retain leading businesses and their valued employees." "Corteva and our heritage companies have been part of the fabric of Delaware for more than 200 years," said Jennifer Johnson, senior vice president, chief legal and public affairs officer for Corteva. "And so I am certain that, as our company looks to its separation, later this year, Delaware and Wilmington will also be an important part of both of our new companies' futures." "It's clear that Wilmington is a place where business and innovation can thrive," said Mayor Carney. "Corteva is an important component of Delaware's economy and workforce. We're proud to welcome them to our downtown community, and we're committed to building on the momentum taking shape across the city." 1000 N West was originally constructed in 1970 for E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company. Following the 2017 merger of Dow Chemical and DuPont, Corteva officially spun off from its parent company DowDuPont into an independent, publicly traded company in 2019. Corteva's lease marks a recommitment to Delaware and the return of the global company a decade after DuPont left Wilmington. Since acquiring the former DuPont headquarter buildings, BPG has diligently redeveloped the footprint into Market West, a premier mixed-use campus located across five city blocks in Downtown Wilmington. Market West is also home to DuPont spin-off, The Chemours Company, which has 600 employees based in the DuPont Building at 1007 Market Street. The addition of Corteva continues the trend of major corporations relocating and reinvesting in Downtown Wilmington. Most recently, Cross River Bank established a Delaware presence with a new branch at 1000 N West, and anchor tenant WSFS Bank signed a long-term lease renewal for 74,000 square feet at 500 Delaware Avenue.
