eandslee 1346 Report post Posted August 19, 2014 Is this really going to become a thing? Because I like this thing. I'm hoping this will become a thing! This is an awesome set of photos to get us started! Thanks, Icetera, for posting this and taking the time to run around and take these photos! I love to see Richmond development in progress! Let's keep this rolling. If you have any photos of the construction projects going on in and around Richmond, please feel free to post them here! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you have any photos of the construction projects going on in and around Richmond, please feel free to post them here! I promised I would start this a few weeks ago but it has not happened until now (excluding crappy cell phone pictures I never posted). Hopefully when I return next week from travels I can do my part to keep it going. VCU, First Freedom Center and better Gateway Plaza pictures are still needed for this week. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eandslee 1346 Report post Posted August 31, 2014 Wow! Awesome set of pix! Wonderfully done. Love how the first freedom center is turning out! Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
540_804 13 Report post Posted September 1, 2014 Thanks for the pics! Love this weekly update thing. I, on the other hand, actually don't like how the First Freedom Center looks. The prefab brick panels (the lines in the facade are a dead giveaway) look embarrassingly cheap. How is it that the Belle Summit development, aimed at the affordable and moderate-income tenants is one of the only new construction buildings that uses hand-laid bricks?

RVA-Is-The-Best 543 Report post Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) Patience, my friends. People get busy. In the mean time, TimesDispatch reports the First Freedom Cener pair of Marriotts (Homeyard Courtooms and Comrtyaed brand) have opened in Shockoe Slip. http://www.timesdispatch.com/business/real-estate/two-new-hotels-open-in-downtown-richmond/article_773af4aa-d4d2-50e9-9033-cec3f8cd93c0.html Edited December 10, 2014 by RVA-Is-The-Best 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richmonopoly 78 Report post Posted January 13, 2015 I live very near the two hotels and I must say that since their opening, there has been a great deal of tourists in the few blocks in our immediate area. It's nice to see people out and about and enjoying what this city has to offer. I wonder how long before the building directly beside the Tobacco Company is developed?

eandslee 1346 Report post Posted April 30, 2015 Whoa! Construction photos!!! Yes! These look great, Icetera! Semmes in Manchester...that area has totally transformed. The changes are amazing and so are the views from that area looking to the north toward downtown! That part of town has so much potential! Thank you so much for posting the photos. By-the-way, which building is the one with all the green construction exterior? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By-the-way, which building is the one with all the green construction exterior? It is Hatcher Tobacco Flats and takes up the entire block of Commerce/7th between Porter and Bainbridge with the exception of the existing structure for Genesis' office. Hopefully I can find time to add captions down the road. http://www.richmondbizsense.com/2014/03/04/southside-project-reaches-its-genesis/ 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eandslee 1346 Report post Posted April 30 Thanks for posting the pics for the update! I would LOVE to see this thread revived!! Got to get a commitment from you locals though. I think there is plenty of material to post about, so there should be no lack of construction pictures to take! Thanks for leading the way! 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, no pictures to add, but this project has really gone vertical lately. Seems to be a solid mix of tenants and will really help the area explode. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
