Right Around the River Blog

Throughout 2017, we’ve been diligently building away in our riverfront community, preparing for the arrival of new Rocketts Landing apartments, townhomes, and commercial spaces. We’re excited to announce that our first townhomes and commercial space are available beginning this summer!

Good news, beer lovers! The Boathouse has teamed up with local brewer, Trapezium Brewing, to craft a custom beer served only at their dining locations. Dubbed the Boathouse Oyster Lager, the brew is a nod to both our region’s flourishing craft beer scene and their restaurants’ seafood theme.

Here at Rocketts Landing, our close-knit community enjoys riverfront views and easy access to the Virginia Capital Trail and more. We have an array of residential living and commercial spaces, comprising a total of 249 condominiums, 44 townhomes, and over 80,000 SF of commercial space. As we look to our next stage of growth, we’re excited to begin developments that will bring new apartments, townhomes, and commercial units to our community.

Just around the bend from downtown Richmond, we embrace a relaxing lifestyle tucked between the James River and the city. And there’s one company here whose whole purpose is helping people enjoy life on the river: Carefree Boat Club at Rocketts Landing. Every year, they get Richmonders out playing on the water without having to own a boat — and this year was no different. With the season not yet over, you still have time to play on the James River at Rocketts Landing.

Great news, friends! Urban Farmhouse — the newest addition to our riverfront community — has officially opened for business at Rocketts Landing. Located in the space formerly home to Mbargo, this is the sixth Urban Farmhouse location in Richmond. And we already can’t get enough of its coffee, food and charm.

Richmond, get ready. One of RVA’s favorite — and fastest growing — cafes, Urban Farmhouse, is set to open right around the river in Rocketts Landing. Located in our 210 Rock building, Urban Farmhouse will take over the space formerly home to Mbargo, which will relocate its Church Hill location in Richmond to our riverfront community.

Right around the river at Rocketts Landing, we’ve been not-so-patiently awaiting the opening of our newest neighbor, Stone Brewing. This California-based craft brewer chose Richmond’s Fulton neighborhood for its highly anticipated East Coast operations, and we’re excited that we just happen to be right next door. So, we chatted with Stone Brewing’s Community Relationships Manager Juliellen Sarver to learn all about the company’s vision, progress and steps ahead.

If you find yourself ready to celebrate the holidays but needing a place to dine, gather your family and friends for Thanksgiving dinner with The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing. Their chefs have been planning a feast fit for every palate and are ready to help you make this holiday one to tantalize the taste buds.

There’s a ton of cycling news in the air these days in RVA — and here at Rocketts Landing, we’re excited to see all the developments! From the Virginia Capital Trail to the UCI Road World Championships, a lot’s happening in our backyard, and we’re happy to share the news.

When you live life intimately along the riverside, our Rocketts Landing community easily becomes one big family. So, when we heard that local health care law firm (and Rocketts tenant) Rawls, McNelis + Mitchell needed more room to grow, we were thrilled that the only move they had to make was “up.”
