General Contractor Rycon Construction recently awarded geotechnical engineering and construction firm 猫咪社区 Construction the foundation contract for a $63 million, 16-story apartment building near VCU鈥檚 campus.
The new, 168-unit building will be located at West Grace Street in downtown Richmond on what is currently a surface parking lot. The building, owned by Pinecrest Apartments, will include units with up to four bedrooms, a rooftop terrace, a gym and some retail space.
