Fulton / Rockett's Landing

Then they need to:

1. say they are going northward

2. correct the rendering because the tower is not across Orleans

If there are plans to build this tower across Orleans, the plans and renderings should reflect that.

They do. Go to the preview center and you will see.

[Cadeho]

Not for phase one and how can you ignore their rendering? It matches with the exact lay of the land and their maps. This will not be across Orleans. Maybe another unshown tower, but not that one we've seen.

South of Route 5, East of Orleans, and north of Old Main St. That's what I meant when I sais it could be north of the intersection.

[Cadeho]

Osborne Tnpk (Rt 5) is to the east. Orleans is the northernmost boundary. Delaware or Hudson is the southernmost boundary. The river is the western boundary. Old Main is not a part of the project as of yet, although they plan to extend a new road through the site to be named Old Main St. But Old Main ends at Orleans and Old Main is a direct N-S street as Orleans is a perfect E-W street. I'm confused about the direction you're talking about Coupe.

ahh fair enough... I'm disoriented as the river heads dead south at that point.

I meant East of Old Main where it will extend through the Rockett's site, and south of Orleans, west of Route 5.

[Cadeho]

Ah ok there you go... Southsiders

I am not ignoring the rendering. I went over the renderings with the owners. The tower actually sits in what is considered Phase I, but will be built with Phase II. That little slither of land is in Richmond proper.

Yes which is not in the next block where (what is it?) William Hill(?) sits now.

Read my previous post.

[Cadeho]

I had, that post was acknowledging it.

[wrldcoupe4]

is that stuff to the right new?

nope... haha well nevermind.

[wrldcoupe4]

I forgot to mention it but Style had an article on how many of the townhouses in Rockett's Landing will have green roofs. They give owners the option of little to no maintenance green roofs and even roofs that you can garden on top of. Pretty neat.

Future Intermediate Terminal Site

New condo tower next to the Fall Line Condos

The Boardwalk of Rocketts Landing

Another newly introduced tower (located next to the Old Main Condos)

Rocketts Landing will also have a new website with all of these renderings up on March 15th.

Phase 1 and part of Phase 2 skyline

Nice, TBurban. Rockett's landing is shaping up to look like a place where I could one day live... assuming I get a job that makes enough...

You and me both! Another thing the man had said, is that the sale rate of these units are going surprisingly fast, being that there's no open model. People are buying for the location and amenities. Speaking of amenities, there will be a movie theater, marinas, pools, parks, an amphitheater, clubhouse and so on. I'm looking forward (for the most part) to all the new dining options, along with the shopping it will bring. The Boardwalk will be an amazing place to be.

And I insist, call me Tommy

From what I've heard most recently, 4. Correct me if anyone has heard otherwise, but it was one of those questions I wished I would've asked but had slipped my mind at the time

Congratulations Tommy for ferreting out all this excellent information and all the renderings.

Is the rendering of Intermediate Terminal from the same source?

Is a career as investigative reporter in your future?

Haha. Thanks, Burt!

The Intermediate Terminal Rendering came from their master plan view (which I had forgotten to post yesterday).

Generally, some things have changed, but for the most part, it's a larger version of the smaller one they have on their site.

[BreakfastPills]

Is that building near the bottom of the last photo actually curved like that, or is that just distortion?

[wrldcoupe4]

It appears to curve like that. Seems like there is some sort of decorative element at the corner.

[burt]

These renderings make Rocketts look far more dense than anything I recall seeing in the past. I think I can barely pinpoint Skyline and Fall Line, but am having trouble spotting Cedars.

In actuality the buildings, so far, all have flat roofs -- very unlike the hipped roof lines in these renderings.

Burt, the "renderings" on this page are merely a vision. In reality, it will still be quite dense, as the vacant areas around the newest buildings will be filled in with 4-story townhouses. However, it won't look exactly like that. The renderings on the previous page more accurately depict what we'll see, but this is useful in showing the scale of the project.
