One of Richmond’s newest additions to downtown, the General Assembly Building (GAB), won the 2023 Impact Award from Richmond Real Estate Group (RREG). Each year, RREG selects a commercial real estate project for the Impact Award that has had a significant, positive impact on the Richmond community. The design team comprised of Glavé and Holmes, Robert A.M. Stern, Gilbane, and VHB were recognized and celebrated at the organization’s April meeting.
Officially open in October 2023, the new 15-story, 450,000-square-foot GAB stands as a testament to innovation and preservation. Constructed on the historic footprint of the original building, which dates to 1912, the GAB retains the façade of its original structure, seamlessly blending tradition with modern functionality. VHB landscape architects and engineers enhanced the site’s connectivity for users and visitors to the adjacent parking deck and Capitol Square grounds, while also helping the team overcome site challenges, including drainage and underground utilities.
