Right Around the River Blog

After months of work to complete the portion of the Virginia Capital Trail (VTC) at Rocketts Landing, the end is almost here. In fact, the entire downtown portion of the trail should be completed by mid-summer.

We’re ready to build the next stage of Riverbank Terraces at Rocketts Landing, and we’re excited to find just the right homeowners. Our luxury townhomes sit directly along the James River, offering riverfront access from your front door. We’re building five homes in the next development stage, and we’re looking forward to quality craftsmanship from builder JF Schoch.

Last year, we had some great developments that saw new residents and new businesses join our community. Thanks to everyone who helped us make big strides in 2014 — along with each year that has brought us ongoing excitement. We look forward to all that 2015 will flow our way here along the James River.

Fall is a wonderful time here Rocketts Landing. From the changing leaves along the James River to cozy sunset drinks at our riverfront restaurants, there’s so much to take in and enjoy. And with more homes being built and a new restaurant opening, we have a lot to celebrate here right around the river!

Okay, it’s now officially official: Fall is here! While we love how summer brings RVA and our community alive in more ways than one, we also dig the colorful views along the James River and sipping cozy mugs of coffee as the cooler fall air serenades us. And, you better believe that fall activities near Rocketts Landing abound. So, if you’re looking for a way to enjoy the season, check out what’s going on right around the river!

Another year, another roaring success with Massey on the River at Rocketts Landing! Last weekend, more than 850 people came down to our riverfront community to raise money for cancer research and patient care — and they danced, they laughed and they raised funds in perfect fall fanfare.

In just a handful of days, we’ll officially leave summer behind and enter into the realm of sweaters, colorful leaves and pumpkin-flavored everything. And to help celebrate this seasonal shift, Conch Republic at Rocketts Landing is holding a Caribbean BBQ Bash — and you’re invited to the party!

Get ready, friends! It’s that time of year again when Richmonders dance under the stars along the riverfront at Massey on the River at Rocketts Landing. In its 5th year, the annual fundraiser brings hundreds of people out to enjoy live music, yummy food and drinks, silent auctions and other merriment for a great cause — and we look forward to another wonderful event this Saturday.

Get ready to kick off the start of this fall weather with great art! The newest show at Rocketts Art Studios (RAS) features sculptor Helen Roberts. She makes striking sculptures out of clay and bronze that often focus on the human form. Their open house is next week! So come on down to Rocketts Landing and enjoy art and socializing, right around the river.

From our sunsets to our river views and more, Rocketts Landing offers a plethora of photo ops — if we do say so ourselves! We found some gems on Instagram of our community, and thought we'd share. Thanks for all the pics, dear friends.
