is handling civil engineering and development consulting, and Balzer & Associates, out of Midlothian, is the structural engineer. Spiral Horn General Contractors, out of Mechanicsville, is building the complex, and Richmond-based Fall Line is the landscape architect. He put the overall project cost at about $4.5 million. Thakker said the rest of the townhomes would start halfway through that phase and be finished in mid-2025. The project is to be built in two phases, with the first phase of six townhomes and the courtyard aimed for completion a year from now. He credited Baker Development Resources, which represented the group in its submissions to the city, for helping to resolve the issues. Initially projected for completion last year, Thakker said the project was delayed due to issues that arose with the development plan during the city’s review process. Taking part in the ceremony were, from left: Chris Neveu, and Nate Goodenow with Walter Parks Architects Kevin Jones with Spiral Horn Thakker Andrea Levine and Michelle Rosman and Birju Bhagat. “We wanted to do something like that here.” for college and started developing in D.C., I noticed that boundary-pushing and architecture there was a lot more and it was rewarded by younger homebuyers,” Thakker said. “As a young developer who grew up in Richmond but then went to D.C. Bhagat, his local partner, is CEO of Richmond-based PG Hospitality and said he has had a hand in several hotel and retail projects in the area. Thakker said his group was interested all along in doing a modern-design development at this site, which is on the eastern edge of the former streetcar suburb that features homes built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The exteriors will include metal, brick and cedar-style fiber cement siding. And in the end, doing something new tends to attract attention and tends to improve salability rather than detract.”Įach unit will have a balcony, a ground-floor alcove connecting to the lawn, and dedicated parking. They showed us that the layout still works, it’s still livable, there’s all these other benefits. “Not something that we initially were comfortable with,” Thakker said, “but Michelle and Andrea bought in completely. While some of the two-story units will have contemporary layouts, others will have what Thakker described as a “reverse layout,” with living spaces on the top floor and bedrooms below. The two rows of townhomes would bookend a central green. That all seemed like something that would not only be sellable but provide something new to the community that would be different.” “It just looked beautiful, and the residents who live there talked about how it created a sense of place and community for them. “Nate brought us this concept plan from a project in Portland, Oregon, that was similar to this and had a shared courtyard,” Thakker said. Thakker said the designers pitched the idea of what’s described on the project’s website as a “contemporary take on a classic Scandinavian chalet.” Andrea Levine and Michelle Rosman with One South Realty Group are listing the homes.Īt Friday’s ceremony, Thakker said his group was introduced to Levine and Rosman by One South Commercial colleagues Tom Rosman and Justin Sledd, who had the property listing when an entity tied to Dorado purchased the 1.2-acre site for $300,000 in late 2020.Ī 17,000-square-foot structure built in 1953 that formerly housed the 59-bed Crawley’s Nursing Home was razed to make way for the townhomes, which are designed by Walter Parks Architects’ Nate Goodenow and Chris Neveu.
