My auto mechanic sold his property at Patterson and Boulevard.  20 condos starting at $1million planned.

Mine too!  Now to find a new shop.

Here comes the new apartment block at Tobacco Row....

Here’s the supermarket and culinary school at 25th Street and Nine Mile Road.

Jackson Ward is about to blow up.  This is in addition to the project currently underway.

Great news for Jackson Ward and the city, this will make that stretch of 95/64 look much better and give much needed infill. Hopefully this keeps up and we will start to see developments like this creep across the interstate into Gilpin (and Gilpin Court will hopefully be leveled and replaced).

It's better than what is there, which is nothing, however again there are too many surface parking lots.

[Brent114]

True, but all of those lots are only accessible through the alleys.  Looks like uninterrupted development along the sidewalks.

[Shakman]

Yes.  I was hoping for structured parking and to turn the alleys into pedestrian thoroughfares lined with cafes and small shops.  There are some of these concepts in Washington DC.

That does sound much better.

Where is that Tobacco Row development in the first picture?

 

Is that Main2525?

[Brent114]

It’s a 5-6 story apartment building.  Main Street, beside Millie’s .

[RVA-Is-The-Best]

Ye. So Main2525

[Brent114]

The Beth Ahaba addition looks great. 

 

 

[Shakman]

I like the contrast from it's neighbors.

[wrldcoupe4]

Woah that’s cool. 

[Brent114]

They started tearing up the parking lot at the Grace and Stuart Circle (Lombardy) apartment building site today. 

[wrldcoupe4]

Appreciate the whirlwind development update today, Brent.

I’m glad to see this finally happening. 

I suspected a few weeks ago that the fence around the property had changed.  It felt like something was afoot but I just chalked it up to wishful thinking.   This was announced so long ago that I thought it was dead. Super happy that it isn’t!  Go Pulse!

Just wish the developer would build something that is more in line with a quality density development.  Also, word on the street is that this developer is also notorious for developments that aren’t so nice looking (for lack of better phrasing).

[Brent114]

Well they are out of Virginia Beach, so I am anticipating some  suburban looking stuff, hopefully behind those existing  (renovated) buildings that are actually pretty cool. 

 

I haven't read the new update but I seem to recall something like 500 residents on this site.  That’s cool.

This  rehab/infill project in Carver (Clay and Lombardy) is looking so good!

Their architecture is usually about as bland as possible. Look at their website. Nothing inspiring. 

[Brent114]

Ugh.  I just read that they are demolishing the existing buildings.  Those are great buildings.  I hate to see them replaced with something with vinyl siding and brick veneer. 

 

I guess if there is some  ground floor retail they should at least be built to the sidewalk...

 

It’s progress along a stretch of Broad that hasn’t seen any interest in 30 years.  I’ll take it I guess.

Just close your eyes and take it.  You have my support.
