I believe it has been 21 occupiable floors plus about 5 floors equivalent of "crown." for some time now, or at least that is what I have had documented. The "5 floors" may be excluding the levels built into the hillside on Tredegar, which is fairly common when stating floor counts (annoyingly). Shiplock Views (listed at 7, but has 2 more slope) and 2525 Main (listed 6 with 2 down slope) are examples of this in the past.

Why would they need to sit there throughout construction? Would these not simply be used to display the design options and then be removed once determined?

Regardless of the position of the port, I suspect any bridge over navigable water needs to be high enough to allow navigation. Ships and barges do occasionally come up to Sugar Pad.

Given the population differences, I am sure most those jobs will be filled by Richmond and Chesterfield residents regardless. That could lead to improved transit to Petersburg. The Petersburg product looks leagues ahead of Richmond's so as much as I would love the money in Richmond, I am supportive of Petersburg on this one.

This is a better comparison as the Venetian has a massive footprint.
-
I do not recall that at all, just us creating our own proposed solutions.

That appears to be on Thalhimers' property and I am unaware of them having any involvement with CoStar's construction. They are part of the Diamond District project though, correct? Also perhaps for the lower floor of the mixed use building on Ellen (about where that port-a-potty is located)?

Somehow that convenience store has now become a 7-11 so that may not happen for some time. I have never seen one in that format.

I could not find that but here is some nice info on the area from LoopNet: https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/Maury-Street-Marx-Street-Portfolio/20896247/

Wow, I spent NYE 2015 in that house and friends were booted out later that year for development. I did not realize that the development still has not occurred, never-mind that the house is still standing.
-
I may not be the biggest fan of the tower as it looks now, but I agree with all of this. For any renovation, the innards would have to be gutted regardless. With some cladding and improved windows, perhaps even rework the non-structurally significant corners, this could be an absolute beauty containing the tallest residential units in the state (VA Beach Westin is only architecturally taller).
-
Apparently, we currently have 16 buildings taller than The Bartlett (264ft). Only one is residential, the CNB, and has the same number of floors but considerably less units. The Southern States building should squeak ahead of The Bartlett as well.

I am not sure it warrants its own thread, which can get cumbersome, but perhaps I could relocate into Parks & Rec?

I believe he means the one-story BookHolders building at Grace and Laurel (not to be confused with Virginia Book Company in the Chesterfield at Franklin and Shafer St). Broad Street is The Book Bindery, not to be confused with the Old Original Bookbinder's restaurant in Tobacco Row (which I only now have learned are unrelated), phew!

I keep forgetting to post/confirm, but from across the river it looks like a large crane has been active at the silos as of last week.

This is what I am afraid of and it is highly irritating, especially as someone who driver regularly down Franklin to get East.

12-story housing tower in the VCU masterplan that was set for 2026 (roughly behind the datacenter under construction). This came out pre-pandemic, if I recall, and we have not heard much for updates in quite some time.

@skycityI love how in the process of force spamming your QAnon-esque rhetoric, you accidently circled back to exactly the article that started this conversation. In the future, please refrain from using this forum to peddle books (especially by "Equity Investment Executives" trying to play virologist).

I think the gas left by the grain may make that too dangerous. The odor is really strong below the silos themselves (so I have heard ). https://www.rachelcontracting.com/projects/bunge-grain-elevator-demolition

While talking about Franklin building, I really would love to hear some updates on the 11-story tower at 1801 E. Main St. Not a peep since seeing core sampling a year or so ago. The mass on the corner would really change the dynamic of 18th and Main.
-
Looks like they would just go around the holdout house.
-
I finally dug that back up from another computer, updated, and added it to @I miss RVA's post.

Wow! That was just a hole Sunday...

This is the angle I had before seeing it posted here already. It looks like a shorter boom to me. Looking back at The Lofts, it looks like they used a smaller darker-color crawler for the garage and then switched to the taller yellow one after the foundation was poured for the tower.
