Arts District

Downtown Richmond’s Arts District was established by the City as an Arts and Cultural District Incentive Zone. Properties within this zone have access to special incentive programs, such as the Façade Improvement Program, in which the City offers grants to support façade improvements for commercial and mixed-use buildings in the zone. This overlay district connects several neighborhoods in downtown Richmond, as seen in the map below.

Sparked by a revitalization in the 2000's, the Arts District was created as a hub for creativity, commercial activity and economic development. Downtown’s Arts District is centered around Broad Street as its core and connects several neighborhoods and all the elements of a thriving downtown: cultural institutions, urban living and amenities. With a wide range of shops and restaurants and a distinctive identity of eclectic expression, the Arts District is a destination for visitors and residents alike.

The Arts District features recently converted and restored apartments in historic buildings that offer a quality of life centered around the vibrant energy of the Arts District. While your home above the streets and storefronts offers sanctuary, you couldn’t be closer to the excitement and experiences throughout downtown.
