Right Around the River Blog

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.”

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.
