Hanover officials will probably strike it down in favor of a warehouse.  Mechanicsville isn’t as bad, but the Ashland area of zoning is such a mess. Ride through Winding Brook some time and admire it in all it’s glory!

Speaking of Willow Lawn, does anyone know what’s up with this project? IMG_3252.avif

How much of that development is spilling into Goochland and Hanover?

Hanover and Goochland prioritize single family homes over the multifamily that Henrico seems to be putting up right now as they run out of space. Goochalnd would be the direct benefactor of the Short Pump spillover due to immediate proximity. But many adjacent parts of Goochland are already occupied by larger home developments on larger lots. Take Kinloch for example. They seem to value quality over quantity in my opinion. Hanover also limits the number of housing units in certain areas by limiting the lot sizes to deter overcrowding in those designated areas.  

[Richmond's Suburban Developments]

Hanover only wants warehouses everywhere apparently.  The county planners there have no idea what they’re doing clearly.  Take Winding Brook for example;  throw it and see what sticks. No rhyme or reason for anything in the Ashland area. It’s actually quite impressive if you think about it!

[Scott's Addition Development]

This can easily be a more temporary solution until the time is right to further develop the property.  Let’s hope so!

[The Fan / Museum District]

The project on North Hamilton and I-195 is finally moving forward again. The parking deck  has been up for a while now, with no real progress in recent months. But I noticed the other day that the first floor is currently being framed.  I think it was the International Mission Board Project.

I was doing some work for a tenant on the first floor of South Falls 1.  The suite will be used as a high end spa.

The Commodore crane?

He mentioned Hull and Commerce so maybe.

One less T Crane to admire.  My brother began to take one down last night in Manchester.

does anyone have an update on the new Wegmans distribution warehouse north of town?  The completion of this warehouse is important to their movement further south into NC and beyond and to the Charlotte region.   If someone can snap a photo of it (and with their permission) I will post on the Bring Wegmans to Charlotte Facebook group LOL.   We suspect they have at least 2 sites under consideration here for their first stores but it is all dependent on the completion of this Richmond  distribution center.  

A friend from work who lives near the location has told me that it’s the largest building he’s ever seen. Lol. He  has said that it looks like it goes on forever.  I would not expect any disturbance on the project due to a few residents.  Hanover residents fight every single little thing. It’s rather annoying.  With that being said, I can try to swing by this weekend and take some pictures.

I can definitely see Wegmans building their new store here in this upcoming development, especially with Wegmans building their local distribution center in Hanover.

Have we seen the Hourigan project  from a south facing position yet?

Any chance for a few  ??  Would love to add to our collection of tower cranes currently up over the city!

Was driving through on the way to south side today.

Probably a lot more cost-effective, too. PLUS - a creative architectural team could REALLY design a sweet looking urban "neighborhood" on this property - a version of Libby Mill with more height/density and a smaller footprint.  Design & bake in a "street" or two into the overall property between buildings and - wow - they could really have something here. 

Every time I go to Libbie Mill , I’m amazed on how well the developer did with the building designs. They’re truly well done and should age very well.

Wow it’s super visible on 195. It’s pretty cool with the mobile crane on the west side at monument and Hamilton as well!

Agreed! Drove through yesterday and thought the same. Also noticed precast going up on the opposite side of 195 as well recently. Any idea what project that may be? 

[Manchester Development]

https://www.kahlerslater.com/news/new-mass-timber-riverfront-development-announced-in-richmond    Here’s a little more information provided by the architect.

[Manchester Development]

Really enjoying the rounded corners on the apartment building. Something different for Richmond. 

[Richmond's Suburban Developments]

Winding Brook in Ashland was supposed to get a surf park as well but it fell through year’s ago. Good news is that they’re building a  Hobby Lobby there though. 

[Richmond's Suburban Developments]

Looks like a mini T crane is there from the opposite side of Broad.  The Nuckols  road apartment building is also coming up pretty quickly. Looks pretty robust , especially with it’s close proximity to the street itself.

Wait - isn't the Commodore going up at 7th and Hull? the Current is at 4th & Hull. There's another BIG project going up directly across Hull from the Current but there are so many projects being built right now, I don't recall which one that is.

It may have been a little passed  The Current.  But definitely on the opposite side of Hull.  I wasn’t expecting to see it , so it caught me off guard at first.  Great things are happening.

Pretty sure you are referencing the Commodore. They are doing underground parking but it sure is a big hole!

I bet you’re right.  I did the cctv at Benchmark brewing last month and things are changing big time down there.

[Manchester Development]

My daughter and I drove downtown a little bit yesterday and I noticed a massive hole across from The Current.  I scrolled through a few pages of post’s but wasn’t successful on finding the project. Anyone know what is coming up across from there?

[Fulton / Rockett's Landing]

Looks good coming down 95.
