Given the national attention I doubt they would consider closing Governor St. at this point.

Urban Design Option B is by far the best. C is my least favorite for some reason.

Nice day for a walk (although the wind did try to kill me a few times).    Glad to see the north side of the canal getting some  love.  And here an updated photo on the new General Assembly bui

BIG NEWS was subtly introduced at City Council last night for Monroe Ward. Thalhimer submitted two potential SUPs to reduce parking requirements for existing buildings they own in Monroe Ward at 104 W

Option B appears to include more high rises.  I like that one best too. What's the timeline for these projects?

I would hardly call them high rises. The plans have details on how tall they would be and they are supposed to only be 9 stories tall. Hardly any impact in the skyline.

Here is the 3 Volume study/report that was done in 2010.  Some interesting finding in here although a bit outdated now.  I always wonder why they bother polling unqualified citizens as to whether they think the Richmond region could support a (major) sports team.  Also, the role that radio reach plays in these decisions.  Anyway, lots of reading.

There is some activity at Kanawha today - after sitting quiet since before the bike race.   A construction trailer is set up and a large shipping container was dumped in the middle of the field.  Various workers wondering around.

Agreed; it is rather unnerving. Though I am surprised that the city has not done more to raise funds for this project being that you essentially have three major development projects either already completed (Gateway Plaza) or are coming on-line within the year (321 Locks and Dominion's development) just steps away from the plaza. This is no time to, for lack of a better term, half-ass such a vital public asset in the middle of the CBD that will serve as a gathering place for visitors, residents, and employees within the coming years.

Wow!  Awesome find!  I do know that the GRP has been working to lure a Fortune 500 or 1000 company to the area that has been more than a year in the making. Maybe this is it!  Might this announcement result in a new building downtown? Come on, everyone is doing it!  Come downtown!

I hope the weather doesn't delay the announcement.  Dude, now I'm waiting on pins and needles!  Been spoiled lately!  It's nice...very nice.

Well it may be taking place there because that is where VEDP's and GReater Richmond Partnership's offices are located. There is a couple hundred thousand square feet available for lease in riverfront plaza. 

Good point about GRP being located there...and that's lot of space available!  Perhaps it's a temporary location until they can get their own space?

Maybe this is where CarMax will be relocating a bunch of its people?  

Could be. I know they were looking for some space downtown if memory serves me right. That announcement, while very good, would be a little disappointing to me. I'd like to see someone new.  I'll take it though!

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this project, but it looks nice. 14 townhouses at 7th and Semmes:

Additionally, on the same website, it says the proposed tower on Pear St is called the "Nexus Tower" and will start selling this spring.

Did the one on Pear St. actually get approved?
