We wrote back in November about the condo project intended for the foot of the Lee Bridge, specifically that the inaccurately named Manchester on the James had shrunk from a 17-story high rise to 4 stories. Today’s T-D takes a further look at the project and residents’ concerns.
Some residents in the South Richmond neighborhood remain concerned, saying they fear the developer’s decision to remove the term “condominium” and trim the size of units from 800 square feet to 650 square feet will make for renter and not owner-occupied residences. Plans call for up to 200 units.
The developer maintains that sale rather than rental is the goal, that the units will not be targeted towards students, and that the buildings will have a more traditional exterior to fit better with the neighborhood.
