ABOUT US

Atlantis Holdings, L.L.C., is an acquisitions and development company indicative of American ingenuity and hard work. Its owner, Matthew W. Di Gioia, was born in 1960 and grew up as the youngest of six children in a middle class suburb of Philadelphia.

Matthew moved to Wilmington, NC in 1998, and brought with him a diverse background in real estate development. Di Gioia recognized that the Wilmington area was a boomtown well on its way and started acquiring and selling several small but lucrative residential and commercial properties.

Atlantis Holdings soon set its sights on creating a commercial node by parceling together 11 small tracts of land at an existing but underutilized intersection. Large land tract resources like this are limited in a county that is essentially a peninsula, surrounded by the Cape Fear River, Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic Ocean. This led to the creation Belle Meade Centre and its adjoining residential components, a premier mixed-use development that will potentially encompass over 70 acres of prime real estate.

Located in the heart of Wilmington, North Carolina is Belle Meade, a 60- acre quality mixed-use development. More than just a shopping destination or a place to call home, we at Atlantis Holdings, with our uncompromising attention to detail, envision Belle Meade as a lifestyle where one could live, work, shop or play. The master plan of Belle Meade includes features that are above and beyond standards required by New Hanover County, such as sidewalks throughout, round-a-bouts and a back alley design to control traffic flow and speed, center islands that are aesthetically pleasing to the eye, a calming water fountain and peaceful green spaces, all that are meant to enhance quality of life.

Belle Meade Plantation exudes our unflinching commitment to quality design already evident in the charming low county homes under construction. Addressing the needs of the community, Belle Meade offers a 6.2- acre site for an Independent Living senior center of 116 units. When combined with the adjacent Belle Meade Commons, a 34-lot patio home development, the potential for a senior campus environment is possible, all within convenient walking distance to Belle Meade Centre, a 154,000 square foot retail centerpiece, planned to provide quality goods and services to the surrounding community.
