Anyone on social media has probably seen this already but the condominium conversion of the OceanView Motel in the Crest fell through a new group purchased the motel with plans of a full renovation and building off of the mid-century modern design. The renderings look fantastic and the OceanView will finally be the shining jewel it deserves to be. Hopefully this will continue to show that these properties can be brought up to today's standards without losing character.

Sadly, the roof was in such bad shape they had to knock it down and reconstruct it from scratch.
This is incredible news.
Here's another article on it. Hopefully this does push for a historic district! https://jerseydigs.com/doo-wop-motel-restoration-wildwood/
This is amazing! I've seen some videos and pictures of the way it was just abandoned, and it's so sad. Glad they'll be able to improve it while keeping what makes it so unique.
Hopefully, they will be able to begin their renovations soon to be ready for next summer.
Excellent news!! This is what needs to happen more throughout the island!
