Richmond is continuously growing in unexpected ways. This was further proven to us when we attended the latest Hard Hat Happy with Richmond Biz Sense.
About the event and purpose,
"Now dubbed Cary Street Station, the 7-acre site at 101 S. Davis Ave. is being transformed by developers Tom Dickey and Chris Johnson of the Monument Cos., and Howard Kellman of the Edison Co., into 285 apartments and commercial space, for a combined 280,000 square feet. (...)
Upon completion, Cary Street Station will have nine buildings, including seven rehabbed structures and two built from scratch.
Johnson said last week 47 of the 160 apartments in the existing historic buildings are ready, and 30 already are leased. Another 64 apartments will be completed March 1, an additional 49 will follow later that month, and the new buildings are set to be ready by summer. Leases are in the works for restaurant and office tenants in the Cary Street-fronted commercial space." - via RichmondBizSense
What's so impressive about this particular development, is that it was an area that could have been potentially been left untouched. The recent sprawl of restaurants and with Carytown being just a few steps away it made this project a no brainer for this space to be repurposed into a residential area. It's good to see that there is plenty of people with vision in Richmond who have a commitment to making our city even better than what it is now.
We love being involved in these types of events because it allows us to learn where new projects are being developed in the city, giving us insight into what commercial and residential Real Estate will be like in the future.
