Scandia USA Homes helps save the environment through their green building practices. Their responsible approach to design and construction considers the entire lifecycle of a structure. This sustainable approach maximizes energy and resource efficiency, while minimizing the negative effects on the environment and the people who live or work in the building. From site planning that eliminates suburban sprawl, to implementing energy efficient technologies, to using “green” building materials, once abandoned urban areas are reclaimed and renovated for the benefit of the entire community.

Rocketts Landing on the James River, just east of Downtown Richmond in Henrico County has a rich history that stretches back to Captain Christopher Newport’s exploration of the James River when the Godspeed first landed here in 1607. In 1730 Robert Rocketts began a ferry service transporting goods on the site and it was once considered the busiest inland port in America. During the Civil War, Rocketts Landing’s riverfront location became vital area in defending Richmond from the Union Navy and Abraham Lincoln landed here to view the burning Confederate Capitol. In the early 1900′s Rocketts Landing transitioned into an industrial district until it was abandoned in the 1970s.

Today, Rocketts Landing has begun a new era of activity and excitement with the development of a master planned community. The $500 million village plan calls for up to 2,000 residences, 500,000 SF of office space, 200,000 SF of retail and entertainment space, a hotel, a private marina, and a mile-long riverfront park. Rocketts Landing is resurrecting one of the city’s oldest and most significant riverfront districts and will truly be a place to live work and play.
