vdogg 1213 Report post Posted July 6, 2019 WPA Architects has an item up for discussion on the upcoming ARB docket listed simply as “The Railyard Development”. No further info at this time, but there are only a few places where that title makes sense. I’m guessing this is related to redevelopment in the Ghent 21st street area. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Railyard at Lambert's Point Retail redevelopment along Hampton adjacent to the railroad tracks. Seems like it’s a rebranding of what was originally proposed. I think Earthfare was the grocer? Not sure if they’re still a part of it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vdogg 1213 Report post Posted July 7, 2019 This is right after your pass under the bridge on the left when heading towards ODU. You turn right at the end of 21 st street and this is about a block away. I like the general concept but wish it were denser and more integrated with the street. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baobabs727 542 Report post Posted July 7, 2019 Super underdeveloped area between ODU & Ghent. Long overdue. If done right this Railyard concept could be excellent! 20k sf bldg must be a grocer? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BFG 1306 Report post Posted July 7, 2019 Is this a continuation of the concept they proposed a few years ago? That one had a grocery store attached as well, but the plans fell through. I think it would be a great location for a Lidl or Aldi. Bold Mariner Brewery moved from that area a couple weeks ago, so I imagine that allows for additional development space.

They are on the docket of city planning's August 22nd public hearing for a change of zoning request (application at the following link). https://www.norfolk.gov/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Item/5168?fileID=10078 This looks like a fantastic development for Lambert's Point, West Ghent, ODU and all of West Norfolk. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BFG 1306 Report post Posted July 24, 2019 This is really exciting news. I can't see Norfolk turning this down. It complements the nightlife of Ghent very well, and even though this isn't in neither neighborhood, I think it could eventually bridge the gap between Ghent and Park Place. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
23320 447 Report post Posted July 24, 2019 River City Roll I am assuming this is the bowling alley they are referring to in the article. Pricing is similar to Topgolf - pay per lane per hour with up to 6 people per lane. Menu looks good at a glance and affordable. Seems like a solid experience to anchor the development.

BeagleAccountant 180 Report post Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) I noticed there were quite a few applications that have gone through or are scheduled for the ARB that had not been posted yet. All projects are in or close to the Railroad District. So pardon the data dump as I try to capture them all. First is 2202 Llewellyn Ave. This is on the Ghent side of the tracks, where Guys Upholstery and Decorum's Clearance Center was once located. They are applying to make this mixed use. The application can be found at the following link; https://www.norfolk.gov/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Item/5215?fileID=10183 Edited August 14, 2019 by BeagleAccountant 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They expect between 20 and 30. Since they’ve gotten a favorable recommendation from Norfolk’s planning commission, next hurdle for the project is getting City Council approval at a meeting on Sept. 24. If the company gets the go ahead, the group has said they expect to break ground early in 2020 and have many of the tenants opening their doors early in 2021." 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
