Richmond's Suburban Developments

Oh wait - I know which one you mean.

Pretty on par with what I always imagined would go in this intersection.   A NY Developer is proposing a 350-unit mixed use redevelopment of the Laurel Park Shopping Center (corner of Hungary and Woodman).

This is very good news. By the time this is built, everything should be back to normal.

Here's the RTD story on the Henrico sports complex.

BizSense just posted their own article on the Henrico sports complex at VCC. It's part of a HUGE multi phase redevelopment of the whole mall site. And thus it comes with this unreal image of what VCC site may look like one day.

WOW!!! That's fantastic!! Hope this all comes to pass. I lived a few miles south of VCC for about five years (more than 20 years ago) -- I love the way this looks!

More renderings and plans on the multipurpose facility to be built at VCC. Looks like demo will start on 13 Nov.

If you haven't been near the Raceway lately, two old retail buildings on Laburnum have been renovated into mixed office/retail space.  I didn't get a picture of the finished product, but it looks pretty good in person.

Wanted to share this construction update of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints’ Temple being built at the corner of Staples Mill Rd and Mountain Rd in Henrico.  This photo is especially cool because not only do you get a birds-eye view of the construction of the Temple itself (which will be absolutely beautiful when complete), but if you look at the horizon in the middle of the photo, you can see downtown Richmond!  Very cool photo indeed!!  Enjoy!

Great photo! How did we ever take pictures before drone technology?

Costar is reporting that Amazon will be building what sounds like a massive, 2.9M SF multi-story warehouse fulfillment center at RIR.

Where is CoStar reporting this?  I did a quick search, but found nothing.  Perhaps I’m looking in the wrong place?

Let's see how long it takes either the RTD or RBS to pick this story up.

Here is the primary source:

https://www.spglobal.com/_assets/documents/ratings/research/11723067.pdf
 

“- RIR–located in Richmond, Va. is an 823,522-sq.-ft. facility with total warehouse space of 2.9 million sq. ft. The facility is currently estimated to cost $295.6 million to build, and construction is anticipated to take 19 months, with a lease start date based on the earlier of Sept. 1, 2022, or upon the completion of the facility. The term of the lease will be for 20 years...”

2.9 million? Will you be able to see it from space? lol 

[I miss RVA]

Thanks, coupe, for posting those details!

Brent - I wouldn't be surprised!

[skinsfan]

RIR as in the racetrack? 

[Richmonopoly]

Looks like they have a shipping center adjacent to  RIR.  Maybe next we can get some corporate jobs...

An excellent audio piece of Henrico Happenings that talks about the details of this development (specifically the indoor sports complex).  Give this 15 minute piece a listen and learn just about everything pertaining to this development thus far.  It's really good.  Henrico is a county with a vision.  Love it!

I wish they were building  next to RIC instead of RIR and turn it into a  small hub

I second this idea!  Seems like it would be a no-brainer to put one right in the flight line at RIC.  There’s plenty of space!
