Brian Eckel Named 2025 Biz100 Power Player

Cape Fear Commercial is excited to share that our Co-Founder and Partner, Brian Eckel, has been named to the 2025 WilmingtonBiz 100 in the Power Players category by the Greater Wilmington Business Journal.

The WilmingtonBiz 100 is an annual initiative that recognizes the top 100 individuals shaping Southeastern North Carolina’s business landscape across categories including Power Players, Influencers, Innovators, Connectors and Rising Stars. The Power Players category specifically honors individuals who have the greatest influence on economic growth and business development in the Cape Fear region — leaders whose decisions, investments and vision significantly shape the region’s future.

Brian’s selection reflects these very qualities. As a co-founder of Cape Fear Commercial, Cape Fear Development and Cape Fear Construction Group, he champions projects that make our region stronger, builds teams that care about their work and always looks for ways to give back to the community that shaped him.

Wilmington thrives because of leaders who invest in its future, and we’re proud to celebrate Brian for the role he continues to play in that story. Congratulations Brian and congratulations to everyone names in this year’s Biz 100!
