Richmond Developments

[jbjust]

Looking at the Stone's YouTube video announcing the choice, it looks like Columbus and Norfolk really put us to shame in terms of cheerleading for this.  The plot of land we had to offer was truly irresistible.

This article has a quite a bit of background on the status of Intermediate Terminal.  Apparently the current property owner has intended to use the building for a restaurant with the Ripp family (Can Can, Burger Bach and several Arby's franchises) in conjunction with the future "Richmond on the James" development (formerly "Echo Harbor").

 

“There’s no specific deal on the table,”  said George T. Ross, managing partner of R3 Development, which plans to build the Richmond on the James [sNIP]. “We’re looking forward to working with the company and the city,” Ross said Thursday. “Until we have a specific deal in place, we can’t comment.”

I was worried when I first read this, but there has to be some sort of agreement in principle in place for Stone to have made this leap.  Without that piece, the Fulton location makes a lot less sense.

I am sure this venture will turn out better for Ross so I doubt there will be an issue.  Perhaps this will also push for more residential over office in his development.

Does anyone know where to find a rendering of the 40 or so new town homes going up on Old Warwick rd. in the Midlothian area of Richmond ? 

The sign said it was being developed by Canterbury Enterprises and there have been permits issued for demolition to occur which has started already. If anyone could find renderings it would be appreciated.

Surprised no one has posted this one yet. Your thoughts?

I'm crazy about the idea. Not quite sold on the design but I assume that the finished product won't look like this. I'm glad you posted this. I saw it on bizzsense this morning but it didn't have any renderings.

I'm glad that there will be more development abutting the downtown expressway.

Hello, does anyone know the current status to the New Gresham Woods development all I could find was this "Ordinance No. 2010-98-81, adopted May 10, 2010, pertaining to the "Gresham Woods Preliminary Community Unit Plan", which permitted the development of a residential community not to exceed four hundred (400) single-family detached and single-family attached dwelling units on approximately 117.88 acres of land located at 6903 Midlothian Turnpike, upon certain terms and conditions, to extend the deadline for initial Final Plan submittal to July 1, 2017."

Looks like a new McDonalds may be in the works on Commerce and Hull street.  

[Marcus Squires]

http://map.richmondgov.com/LandUseProject/  there are many developments going on that are not talked about, take a look for yourself.

[Brent]

There's already a mcdonalds at that intersection. Are they rebuilding it there or moving it across the street?

RVANews has an excellent piece on all the major plans the city has announced and undertaken in the past year (i.e. Riverfront, Bikes, Main Street Station) as well as how well the city is following along its Master Plan. It also provides insight on RVA developments for 2015.

Nice!

Is this Southside?

[Marcus Squires]

Yes across from the new southside community center 

 

"To amend Ord.

The City is moving ahead with the Armstrong school site for redevelopment, here is an overview.

[Shakman]

Not bad at all.  Good enough to fit into the neighborhood.

More apartments and town homes  going into the ever-growing  Manchester.

Here is a recap on development this year in Manchester.

I like it for the most part but it is annoying that the streets don't line up with the existing streets. Really annoying.

I'm certain that several plans left that one open block as green space or a park. I could have sworn we suggested that in 2007 as well...

[Marcus Squires]

Well, guessing from the article the city never bought it.

Looks like plans for a (much-needed) complete overhaul of Kanawha Plaza is in the works:

Good. I don't like that parking lot in the site plan, though.

Yeah good news. Though I hope long term we can have a portion of the site devoted to a building of some kind to help link everything north of the downtown expressway with everything south of it. Keep some green space as well.

[varunner]

Anyone know when construction is supposed to start on these apartments? http://www.richmondbizsense.com/2014/02/11/downtown-apartment-building-approved/

 

I like the rendering on this site (http://www.senseidevelopment.com/under-development/)
