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.

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.

Great Stay in RVA
We have stayed at a few of Mark's places and always have a great stay. His places are clean and well-maintained. We love the location, so close to everything. This top floor place had a nice view - we love the large windows overlooking the city street. Mark is a great host - he has always been very responsive and accommodating.

The stay was great overall. The property is a beautiful restoration. The apartment was as advertised . The comfort level left a bit to be desired . But the absolute best part was the communication with the owner and staff. Also your cleaning services clearly don’t vacuum
