The 2010 Plan is bringing city officials and private developers together to craft an exciting and exceptionally well-orchestrated plan for the future of downtown Norfolk.  In the summer of 2003, three exciting residential projects were announced.

 

Boush & Tazewell                          Brambleton & Bute Streets          St. Paul's Place Co. to

77 Condominiums                          Up to 248 apartments in two      build 90 condominiums &

(some loft-style) selling from         seven-story buildings. Pedestrian        contemporary lofts priced from $160,000-$450,000             bridge across York St. to link to               $125-$185,000

         rowhouse-style apartments and a

          garage. Monthly rent $1,000-$2000

The 2010 team approach will create complete environments that extend the public spaces of downtown. Here are just a few of their plans:

LOWER GRANBY DISTRICT
New hotel, mixed-use, office and retail development will extend this lively urban district to the Waterfront on the south and to Scope on the north.
   a. Federal Square Development - City Hall Avenue and Granby Street
   b. Hotel Conference Facilities - East Main Street
   c. Retail Infill - 100 Block of Granby Street
   d. Granby Street Link to Otter Berth
   e. Waterside Landing, Town Point Park Improvements, and Marina Expansion
   f. St. Paul's Landing
   g. Office Building Sites in Downtown Core

BOUSH STREET
New residential development, combined with parking structures, will firmly establish Boush Street as an elegant residential address.
   h. Boush Street Garage and Mixed-Use Development
   i. Tazewell Street Developments
   j. Brambleton and Boush Park


THE CHARLOTTE, WOOD, AND CHURCH STREET CORRIDOR
By connecting Church Street across both Wood and Charlotte Streets to Boush Street, the downtown street network will provide alternate routes and a new address will be created. The western portion will be primarily residential, while the central area will either extend the residential development east to St. Paul's Boulevard or create a continuous area of the large-scale public uses between Scope and MacArthur Center. New mixed-use, residential and office structures line St. Paul's Boulevard and
East Freemason Street.
   k. Triangle Place
   l. Federal Courthouse Expansion
   m. Scope Plaza Developments
   n. Charlotte Street and Monticello Avenue Development Options
   o. St. Paul's Place

UPPER GRANBY AND OPERA SQUARE
New developments along the Brambleton Boulevard frontage will be coordinated with a mix of renovated and new structures to reinforce this mixed-use area with high-tech-related businesses, antique and specialty shops, and residential and civic uses. New streetscapes will extend along both Granby and Boush Streets to the Harrison Opera House and the Chrysler Museum of Art.
   p. Improvements and Streetscapes to Granby Street and Boush Street
   q. Brambleton Boulevard Corridor
   r. Mixed-Use District
   s. Opera Square

EAST WATERFRONT
Changes to the street pattern, light-rail transit, high-speed rail, and waterfront walkways and parks, together with new development of civic and mixed uses, will extend the waterfront beyond Harbor Park to Brambleton Boulevard and create both a new district and an entry to downtown.
   t. Waterfront Development Options
   u. High-Speed Rail and Intermodal Transportation Facility
   v. Park Avenue Improvements

 

BRAMBLETON BOULEVARD
An enhanced Brambleton Boulevard Avenue will create revitalized opportunities for adjacent neighborhoods.

BRAMBLETON SOUTH AREA
New developments related to Norfolk State University can link the campus and the Broad Creek communities to downtown.

ST. PAUL'S BOULEVARD/CHURCH STREET AREA
Both public and private developments should be coordinated in an inclusive process to revitalize this key area, and to provide better links between the core of downtown and neighborhoods to the east and north.
