27 New Manchester Townhomes Proposed by Eagle Construction of VA News by Michael C. Hild - October 31, 20188 We have been waiting for the news to break, but it looks like the word of Eagle Construction of VA’s 27 New Manchester Townhomes is finally public. The lots where the townhouses are to be built sit between the 7 West development and Legend Brewing. Richmond BizSense broke the news this morning that “Eagle Construction of VA is under contract to purchase two adjacent parcels overlooking the James River at 401 and 421 W. Seventh St., where it will build 27 townhomes.” They go further to say, ‘“This is the only remaining property with unobstructed river views, so we have to take that into consideration when developing the site, “said Will Kennedy, Eagle Construction of VA director of land acquisition and strategy. “This is going to be a premium product.”’ If you are wondering what the townhomes will look like, the following BizSense quote provides a clue: “Kennedy described the pending townhome project as a small-scale version of the residential sections of GreenGate, a mixed-use development led by Eagle’s sister private equity firm Markel | Eagle.” Below are photographs of the types of homes available at the GreenGate website.
My great-grandparents settled in the Manchester District in the 1890’s. They were dirt poor but they made it somehow. Glad to see the neighborhood is looking up Reply
I’m still trying to figure out who’s paying to live in those condos you can spit on driving up the ramp to 9th st. Reply
