It would be a good place for a corporate headquarters of some type.

There is so much ugly asphalt in that area, much of it not used for anything that they can build there for a very long time.

Its always about keep Richmond empty. The above post states what is going on very well. It looks like Stoney smarten up and is tying this to a property tax reduction.

Everytime I see an aerial of this area. Its just unbelievable how many ugly surface parking lots there are and some still complain about losing parking everytime a new project is announced. Healthy cbds dont have surface parking like this.

This shows you dont need a large foot print when you dont waste property on ugly surface parking. We do need many more of these.

Build an urban target downtown where the Charles store was with residential above. We need retail in the main commercial area of downtown.

An aerial photo really shows how much property is wasted on surface parking lots in this city. With all the development in Manchester there is still so much emptiness. At least it has potential for more development.

"A vibrant city core is necessary for regional growth. " This needs to be the top priority. We just had an election last year and not one candidate had a plan for the revitalization of downtown Richmond.

I like that they are going to use Grace and Belvidere as the main gateway to campus. This is much needed. I think Grace being more narrow will work better than the wider Broad St.

Scotts Addition wins easily. Pulse, bike, walk vs car. End of discussion. Then theres always the keep Richmond empty choice. That has been chosen way to often. Citys dont work when they are empty.

I call them the keep Richmond empty crowd. The ones that are against everything are always the loudest. Its a miracle that the Pulse was approved. No ballpark in the bottom, no arena downtown, no casino. That dont like shiny things they like ugly asphalt parking lots.

Downtown across the street from the convention center is where it should go. We have this huge investment so why not enhance it. Its right in front of their face.

You are right. 20 stories is not a high rise. IMO there are no high rises in Richmond yet. Also, the 20 stories will only come after there has been alot of development and the land has become much more valuable.
