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.

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.

Fantastic Downtown Richmond Living
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful 4th floor penthouse. It was clean, spacious, and convenient to everything we wanted to do while in Richmond during the holidays. The owners were also great with communicating and made us feel right at home. I would definitely stay there again. Thanks so much!

Light and airy
Just as pictured: great light from large windows, cozy space perfect for lounging on cold blustery days. Open kitchen area with nice amenities. The apartment has a nice cozy yet historic feel to it with beautiful floors and restored ceilings. We walked mostly at Maymount and the beautiful Hollywood Cemetry overlooking the James River, not so much downtown. We would stay here again.

Very nice stay!
We were very impressed with the overall appearance of the condo. It was very comfortable. Great location to the convention center where we were working for the weekend. Surrounded by AMAZING food and fun bars. Parking outback was pretty straight forward and more inexpensive than other areas. Thanks for a great weekend!
