preservationengineer 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2005 I was driving down there the other weekend and was surprised to find that, if I am not mistaken, a meat plant of some sort is to be directly next to this proposed development. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wrldcoupe4 1187 Report post Posted August 9, 2005 The taking of Reservations for phase 1 of Rockett's Landing is officially underway "Cedar Works condominiums range in price from $150,000 to $575,000. Fall Line pricing ranges from $275,000 to $675,000, exclusive of the three penthouses." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deuce 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2005 I'd like to know the price range of the townhouses and the timeline. This looks like a nice mix use area, just a stones throw from the city line. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
preservationengineer 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2005 i went and checked about reserving one with my dad, and a one-bedroom 868 sq. ft. condo was $210,000. Too much for someone who just graduated from college. It's beautiful! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrldcoupe4 1187 Report post Posted August 31, 2005 wow! i guess there is a market for it though considering how much is already taken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
preservationengineer 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2005 My dad told me today that the mayor is putting up a fight with the Rockets Landing folks b/c he's not sure how it's going to "fit in" with Richmond, as far as the river goes. It is unfortunate when our city's political leader cannot see a good thing when it's infront of him. He is too quick to criticize - does he not realize that our government was partially responsible for the lack of sustainable infrastructure causing the abandonment of buildings in the shockoe bottom/manchester industrial areas for SEVERAL years and now people are finally taking the initiative to rehabilitate them. Does he see any places in Richmond where you can go to eat/shop/boat/work on the James? EGO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At First, I really liked him, now I'm not so sure. He does an awful lot of criticizing and less anything else; even if it is plain to see that a project is a good think like Rockets Landing.

burt 16 Report post Posted September 7, 2005 There isn't much to see down there so far. But as I drove by last week, I thought to myself - hmmmmm, not so sure I'd want to live there. There's a huge CSX rail yard right along Old Osborne Tpk (Main Street extended). Shunting freight cars around at all hours could be noisy. But if it looks anything like its renderings, I'll probably eat my words and envy perspective residents. And from recent publicity, it appears sales and interest are booming.

What kind of parking arrangements does it have? It's a nice looking store, judging from the pic. Oooops. I meant to put this in the retail thread, but don't know how to move it. Sorry.
