Multi-family Sales
Richmond’s historic and urban properties require a different level of expertise. We specialize in multi-family and mixed-use assets — including duplexes, triplexes, and live/work spaces — helping investors identify opportunity and navigate high-demand markets with confidence.

We go beyond transactions. Our team works closely with investors to identify opportunities, evaluate ROI, and execute long-term strategies for growth — from acquisition to repositioning.
New Construction Marketing
We bring a developer’s mindset to every project — positioning new construction for maximum visibility and return. From pre-development strategy to final sale, we work alongside investors, builders, and municipalities to ensure your project reaches the right buyers and performs at its highest potential.
Featured Projects
Hofheimer Building | Historic Renovation
The historic Hofheimer Building was built in 1928 for the Herold R. Hofheimer Rug Company.

Our team renovated the 15,000 sq. ft. commercial building using federal and state historic tax credits in 2015. Award-winning Chef Peter Chang operates his 7th restaurant in the property and the remainder of the building houses the Hofheimer Event Venue and Harry’s at Hofheimer bar and restaurant.

Meridian Townhomes | New Construction
Snipes Properties re-zoned and demolished a non-historic office building in 2015 on the edge of the Museum District and Scott’s Addition. In it's place we built 8-single family homes that pay hommage to the classic 1900's rowhome with a 21st century twist. It's location along the border of two prominent Richmond neighbors inspired the concept and name. The Thompson Street corridor is undergoing a renaissance and The Meridian was one of the first projects in this area. Our affiliated construction arm Riverwest Constractors was the builder and our internal brokerage team sold out the project in record time.
