Office Space in 1806 Summit Avenue

This site is located in this once a bustling industrial area, and now a historic designation, Scott’s Addition is the City of Richmond’s fastest-growing neighborhood, adding over 3,500 residents in the past seven years alone. Perhaps now best known for its impressive collection of over 13 breweries, cideries, meaderies, and distilleries, Scott’s Addition is also a booming entertainment district featuring delicious local restaurants, a growing number of shops, a rooftop bar, a boutique bowling alley, cinema, shuffleboard bar, and more–it’s truly the spot to live, work, and play! Convenient access to Interstates 64, 95, 195, and the Powhite Parkway have also led to a growing number of employers choosing to relocate in the neighborhood. The neighborhood is bounded on the south by Broad Street, on the east by The Boulevard, on the north by the railroad tracks and the west by I-195. Scott’s Addition Historic District is one of the larger industrial and commercial districts in Richmond. The district contains brick and frame buildings in a variety of architectural styles, including Colonial Revival, Classical Revival, Mission, International Style, and Art Deco. Several skillfully crafted modern buildings are reflections of a style rarely seen in Richmond. Today, Scott’s Addition is home to a diverse mix of businesses, including film studios, graphics, and marketing companies, advertising groups, and architectural firms. Adaptive reuse and other preservation efforts have made this neighborhood attractive to not only businesses, but to residents as well, and the area has received renewed attention in recent years. The neighborhood was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.
