Construction fencing is up around the old used car lot at Hamilton/Broad.  Any idea what’s going there?

The more-or-less vacant block (yellow box) - yes? 

ALSO - (unrelated, but I noticed it on the satellite map) -- does anyone know if there will be any further construction at The Ella? There's still an undeveloped swath to the rear of the center block in the development (orange box) -- will any more residential units be built there?

Oh, c'mon! I'll bet Thalhimer is behind this...

Bow Tie selling the undeveloped portion of its holdings on AA Blvd.  This is good news as it will hopefully lead to more density and vibrancy to greater SA.   Maybe Bow Tie can be convinced to sell its Monroe Ward holding to an ambitious developer that isn't vertically challenged.

Agreed - hoping for a developer that isn't vertically challenged in terms of height of building AND depth of pockets!

The Dairy Bar property at Roseneath and & Moore has been snapped up by developers. Methinks it won't be too long before an announcement about a project for this block may grace our forums!

I have lots of fond memories of going to the Dairy Bar when I was a kid, hanging out in the summer at the printing company my dad managed. I used to wander around Scott's a lot back then - and I'd amble over to the Dairy Bar and bring back lunch for my dad, myself and several of the folks who worked for my dad. Lots of fun in those days!

Anyway - I'm eager to see what might end up being built here.

The Monroe Ward property, when developed, floor count better start with a 2 and not a 1.

That would be really good to see. Mind you, given the climate in the construction industry with ridiculously high costs right now, I'd be happy at this point just to make sure the floor count is read in double-digits, and preferably with the word "teen" in the number (meaning, something more than 10, 11 or 12).

Interesting little snippet from our good friends at the RVA/Reddit site. I didn't post this in the "Richmond in Pictures" sub-forum -- rather, I posted it here because it has specifically to do with Scott's Addition and the changes happening there. In this case, we have a picture of the intersection of Moore and Arthur Ashe Boulevard.

One of the redditors wrote the following when commenting on this picture:

"They will probably sell the spot for 4.8 million and put up an 8 story apartment building with no parking."

And another wrote:

"My FIL opened a warehouse in Scott’s Addition about a decade ago for storage. Sold it because he wasn’t using it much at the time. He’s really kicking himself now seeing how much the area has exploded recently."

I just found these comments to be pretty cool - and very emblematic of just how dramatcally Scott's is changing. These posts - while sort of kvetches and sort of laments and sort of neither -- are the kinds of things you'd find on forums about other cities that are changing rapidly - even cities like New York - where long-timers of a fast-changing neighborhood might say something along these lines.

Just made me smile because it feels like yet another indication that RVA really is on her way to the big time. She's changing quickly - and really growing up!

The Otis has signed its second retail/commercial tenant - PlantHouse will relocate from 2100 W. Cary to Scott's Addition in November, opening up a much larger store than they currently have on Cary Street. They've done really banging business at the Cary Street location and the bigger store in the Otis will allow them to expand their offerings and programs. It's a real win for all parties involved.

Great article in today's RBS:

There goes any chance for Richmond 300's plan for a Crescent park.  Good thing the city spent so much money on it. :tw_angry:

Frankly I was never a fan of it anyway.  As planned it was a very large park, and we have other parks in the area already. I don't see people using a park like that, there is a public park area there already at the Commanders practice facility and no one ever uses it at all.  Make the park smaller and give me more density.

5 story 375 unit apartment development will go in adjacent to Bow Tie. Rendering included!

https://richmondbizsense.com/2022/04/20/price-of-admission-to-buy-part-of-movieland-property-16m/#newsletter

The developer must have shaved a floor off the top - original rendering is for a six-story complex.
