Between bakeries, scooter shops, breweries, and condos, the Manchester neighborhood (just across the James) is doing its damnedest to pull a Scotts Addition and become a viable place to live and work.

And we’re root’n for em here at RVAMag, trust me.
So when RichmondBizSense broke a story about a new $9 million project along Hull Street, we were pumped to share the news.
Here’s some of the highlights, but head over to RichmondBizSense for the full story:
RJ Smith Cos. has embarked on a $5 million investment in the Southside neighborhood that will add up to four commercial spaces, aimed at restaurants, retail and offices, and 34 apartment units along Hull and Bainbridge streets.
And that’s just the first phase. Led by President Richard Smith and Senior Vice President Janet King, the project would then tackle the 1500 block of Hull Street in late 2016 and into 2017, where the company has purchased three properties and plans to add more commercial space. That will bring the total investment up to almost $9 million.
“This is a long-term investment,” Smith said. “We’re putting in three years of work from here on out.”

This all sound too good to be true? Will there be more yuppie condos instead of hipster collective housing? Can you not even? Let us know in the comments below.
