Enjoy everything Richmond has to offer from this newly built luxury condo in the heart of the Arts District on West Broad. Great restaurants, music venues, shops, galleries and more all await you! New amenities include elevators, granite counter tops, ice-maker, hardwood floors, tin ceilings, dishwasher, washer/dryer and central heating and air! Just 5 minutes from I-95 & I-64, Browns Island, the General Assembly, the National and more! We aim to please, you've found your new RVA home!
The space
A historic Broad Street furniture and music warehouse that recently underwent a multi-million dollar conversion while maintaining original architecture according to Federal and State historic guidelines. We essentially maintained all the unique and classic features of this beautiful old building and renovated it completely to today's standards. We kept quaint features like the 100 year old heart pine hardwood floors and pressed tin ceilings and added modern amenities such as HVAC, skylights, atrium's and elevator. It would be a challenge to find a more unique location than this condo right on West Broad Street in the Arts District.
Unique coffee shops, clothing and music stores, fine restaurants are just steps away outside your door. Enjoy downtown RVA in this totally revised neighborhood located between two universities (VCU and MCV). Situated across the street from the Virginia Repertory Theater. Next door to the new Bar Solita, Quirk Hotel (with rooftop bar), City of Richmond Police Headquarters, Perly's and Tarrants. If you love great food, Richmond is serious about delivering meals and spaces that exceed your expectations.
Btw, the largest food festival in Virginia occurs each year right out front of this property. Join us as we close down 5 blocks of West Broad Street and throw the biggest food and music festival in Virginia! "Broad Appetit Food Festival". This benefit for the Central Virginia Foodbank occurs in downtown RVA the first Sunday in June yearly! Over 35-40k attendees have shown up for this one day event (We help coordinate all the entertainment with over 14 bands and 2 stages) and it happens right our Metro Sound front door each year.
Simply put, this is a great city-central location that offers everything to the discerning Richmond traveler or businessperson. Keep in mind that a new Pulse Rapid Transit system was just completed out front of the building. It takes you 8 miles quickly down West Broad. Also, parking is readily available with several options within a block or so.
Guest access
Only registered guests are approved for access to our property, no visitors or hosted events allowed.
See "House Rules" under "Booking" for more information. Checkin is 3-6pm, late checkin available for $30 fee between 6 and 10 PM (anything past 10 PM would incur a $20 fee for every 30 minutes or fraction thereof). Late check-in is subject to staffing availability (minimum 48 hours notice required), but we will try to accommodate you.
Tenants will be greeted in person, credentials verified, and then they will issued building and condo access credentials. This building is a multi level warehouse that has been converted into luxury apartments and is also the home to several first floor businesses. This is a "Quiet Building" we do ask that you keep in mind our long term guests and refrain from making any disturbances or loud noises during your visit. You will have your very own fully furnished new condominium to yourself. You can come and go as you please, however, we do ask that you respect our other long term guests and keep all noise to a minimum.
You have several paid parking choices around the back of the building. You can also park for free on the street on weekends (unless otherwise posted) from Friday 4 PM through Monday at 8 AM. Parking in the City lot runs eight dollars per 12 hours. You can also pay by the day, month or longer by going to the website cityparkingonline.com enter "monroe ward" as your location. When parking in the paid lot behind the building be DO NOT to park in any spaces painted white, marked with "TR", and/or marked as "Reserved" as you could get towed.
Interaction with guests
My staff and I work in the building. We are onsite weekly Tuesday - Saturday, 11am - 6pm and are here to assist you. Our interaction can occur as often or as little as you prefer. Our tenants like knowing we are nearby in the event they need us. We also have all the recommendations you might need for a great place to eat or live music venue to visit. Our music business, Metro Sound, is one of the first businesses to venture back downtown over 32 years ago when all the other businesses had left for the suburbs. We are proud to call downtown RVA our home!
Other things to note
This is a very secure and quiet building, (with monitored CCTV on all entrances) we want to keep it that way. Strictly no smoking (including vape) no parties, no animals permitted. We have tenants who require a clean air facility. A $500 fine will be imposed on any tenant who is caught smoking in the facility. We provide a new, safe, secure and beautiful space in which to live. This location is also in the heart of the city and the sound of traffic and construction at times can be a part of your backdrop experience. Parking is readily available within a block of the location.
Service or Support animals (if validated and approved as we require by law) may not be left unattended in the home, and doing so incurs a $500 fee per occurrence. If your request is approved, rental tenant agrees and acknowledge these fees and assure us at no time will an animal be unattended in the home.
No third party bookings permitted. Only registered guests get access to the listing. Primary renter must be on-site for checkin.
