Once again, RVA/UP gets the scoop even on RBS! We have an AMAZING team of crackerjack investigative reporters who have great resources that the competition, obviously, does not have.

Did anyone catch this line in Bruce's comments?

"More is set to be announced soon along properties served by the Pulse line. Thousands of residences, for rent and sale, are in our future."

So there's more on the way?  And if anyone knows the score and has a finger on the pulse of what's happening in terms of RVA development, it's Bruce.

What do you think, guys?

I caught this line...was the first thing I saw in his comment.  I want to see the plans announced now!  He says these plans are all along the Pulse corridor too.  Could this mean more 12+ story residential towers are on the way along Broad?  Let's hope so!

I've a feeling we'll be hearing something in the near future. When Bruce says "soon" - I tend to believe him. Meaning - it really is not far off. If he's talking about "thousands" of residences - then that could, in fact, mean some taller/larger buildings along the Broad Street corridor. The question is, however, is he including projects either announced or already underway in his estimate of "thousands" of units?

All kidding aside - RichmondBizSense does a good job putting  context around whatever scraps we can find. Obviously our scouring process moves faster than formal journalism and i appreciate the legwork they provide.  Having 2 or 3 new BizSense articles a day is almost like Christmas every morning - it is certainly the first media i consume every day. Sometime in my head i feel like a project isn't official until BizSense takes it up. We are very lucky to have them as a source and an alternate forum. - the repetition of their stories keeps us talk'n doesn't it.

Anyway,  looks like they updated the story from earlier after contacting the developer. Here are the updates to the Lacy sale part 2 story from today:

"Level 2 confirmed their plans for the project Monday morning, announcing that they’re planning 300 apartment units and 14,000 square feet of retail space at the development, which is referred to as “Leigh Addition.”

"The developers are planning to break ground in August 2022 and a two-year construction period would follow."

Got to agree with all your points regarding RBS - it is the first thing I check every morning when I wake up!  You know it's official when it's "RBS official!"

Borrowing from a decades-ago commercial that those of us who are old enough surely will remember:

"When RBS (like E.F. Hutton) talks... people listen."

Per BizSense project snapshot article today....

'Next up for Bank Street is its Soda Flats project, a seven-story building with apartments and ground-floor retail at 2820 W. Broad St. in Scott’s Addition. Brown said construction on that building, which will rise next door to the Hofheimer Building, is set to start in August.'

Really interesting article and an interesting website. Even though the information apparently is two years old, some of the details are interesting. Definitely worth a look.

The 6 story apartment project at 1508-1512 Belleville St (noted on the development map as the 'Freeland\Thalhimer site' is requesting a SUP to waive some parking and conditional height requirements. In the applicant report another version of the rendering was provided.

I am actually liking this design.  Kind of screams '90s Northern/Central Europe.

Same here - it's pretty cool looking. Can't wait to see this one get built.

Big purchase by an N.C.-based developer of the building that houses the Mactavish Flats apartments in Scott's Addition for $10.8 M - at 1300 Mactavish between Marshall & Clay. Note from the RTD photo & rendering, the property takes up about 3/4 of the entire city block square. The story does not indicate what may/may not be in the future.  From the Times-Dispatch:

And here's Richmond BizSense's report on the sale. Nothing all that new to add except stating unequivocally: 

"It’s unclear what Hem + Spire’s plans are for the MacTavish property. Its founding principal, Maxwell Joseph, wasn’t available for comment by press time Monday."

Interestingly, the only comment for this story so far was from a RBS reader calling for a 6- to- 12-story building on that property. I like his thinking!! We need more of that.

Plan of Development filed last week for 1616 Summit Ave. This will be a repurposing of the existing commercial  structure and the addition of maybe 2 floors of  residential units above based on proposed numbers.
