Development at former Phillips site, Sanibel Seas bringing homes, retail to North Ocean City

After working out a parking snag, developers got the green light this week to bring a new multi-use project to the site of the shuttered Phillips Crab House in Ocean City’s north end.

Called Ocean Two, the proposed development calls for 6,840 square feet of retail and restaurant space, made up of five tenants, and a mixture of 36 two- and three-bedroom apartments on several lots within the 141st Street area.

The city’s planning commission voted unanimously to approve the plans at a meeting this week, which were revised from a first draft presented in January. The original plans called for 44 residential units, which were reduced to 36 to meet parking requirements.

Architect Keith Iott, the president of Iott Architecture and Engineering, said the construction is all new and will replace the former Phillips building, which is set for demolition. He said the project will include at least one restaurant, possibly two, and several retail shops. He said the specific tenants have not yet been finalized.

With this week’s approval, the project can proceed and Iott said construction should begin soon.
