MILLER and RHOADS Alive Again!
What a refreshing news story in the Monday business section of the Richmond Times Dispatch! The story outlined the new hotel and condo project in the old MILLER & RHOADS Department Store building. Of late it seems like most stories of businesses, real estate, etc. are full of doom and gloom, but this story made me feel good. As a native Richmonder it was always a little sad to drive past the closed MILLER & RHOADS Department Store. Like many Richmonders the store took me back to my childhood with very fond memories of visiting Santa, having lunch in the Tea Room and experiencing “Downtown”. I am really looking forward to checking out the “New MILLER & RHODES”!
Not only will there be a 250 room Hilton Garden Hotel in the old department store building, but 133 one and two bedroom condos will be for sale. From the looks of photos in the paper and on the MILLER & RHOADS Residences website the condos look like really cool urban living. With condo units from 700 to 1500 sg. feet plus, some with large terraces and selling from $149,000 to $599,000, the project sounds great.
