Vistas On The James

[burt]

Just as an update, I am officially squashing the unfounded rumor that the height is being lowered by 2 floors. There have been no changes to the design.

The camera really is pretty neat. More large construction projects should include such cameras.

[Downtowner]

Yea I hope Centennial Towers has a live web cam that would be sweet.

The first thing i saw was Coupe's comment, and then Joeys about Centennial. Almost thought this was news about that! Phew. Almost gave me a heart attack Good to hear for Vistas though.

Also... to put it in some perspective.... They've only built up to the seventh floor (2nd floor of actual comdos and not parking) so far and they've already sold 144 condos. only 24 to go! That's about 86% sold. There are only 2 condos left with city views, the rest have river views.

And none of them I can afford!

I love that camera! What a zoom! And it's kinda creepy watching someone else control it... but eh. I need to put one on my house!

[Downtowner]

Found this new pic if Vistas in the Metro Business section.

[wrldcoupe4]

Great Downtowner! Thanks for posting that... it appears that it will look pretty slender from the I-95 view...

[TBurban]

Wowza. Is that Charlotte or Richmond? Very classy looking building. Thanks, Downtowner.

[Downtowner]

Everyone is welcome I like that rendering of it alot.

[Cadeho]

I don't understand why so many posts of buildings put them in the wrong place or they have weird impossible views. Gah!

[burt]

Glad you found that one, Joey. It looks neat, but I swear, I can't get 18 floors out of that picture. Looks about 15 to me. Anybody else have a comment?

[wrldcoupe4]

I will 100% guarantee that the building has 18 floors.

[burt]

I will 100% guarantee that the building has 18 floors.

Even in this picture???

[Cadeho]

I count 14...

[wrldcoupe4]

It doesn't matter what anyone counts, I'm quoting one of the lead realtors from Joyner Fine Properties who is responsible for selling the condos. When asked, "is it still 18-stories?" ... the response was yes.

[Cadeho]

Haha yeah well I was just saying. It's not the whole building in the pic.. but hey in the rendering there, it's in Riverside's spot.

[wrldcoupe4]

They are currently forming the 9th floor...

[burt]

They are currently forming the 9th floor...

At this rate, by the time I leave Richmond on November 1st the building should be topped out. Or, almost!

[wrldcoupe4]

Check out www.Richmond.com for an advertisement for Vistas similar to the print one Downtowner showed us... this one's in motion though

and by the way, they are flying! It looks like half the 10th floor is in the process of going up as well!

[Cadeho]

There's a Vistas billboard on 64... I have a pic of it but I don't think it was as good as the Rocketts one.

[Cadeho]

Please tell me it's not too dark. I hope you can see it.

[urbanvb]

I can see it fine, Cadeho.

Please tell me it's not too dark. I hope you can see it.

It does look very nice. It'll look even better as the height increases. Can't wait to see how it's going to look in the city skyline.
