History

Built sometime around 1920, The Cheek-Neal Building was purchased by a group of investors in the early 2000’s who had a vision for Manchester. Sitting quietly on the south banks of the James River, Manchester was unexplored by developers, hiding an amazing array of warehouse properties with commanding views of Downtown and the River. Manchester’s proximity to all of the amenities of the Shockoe region of Downtown quickly made it a popular area for the urbanite seeking departure from Richmond’s norm. Cheek Neal became the logical first step in the area’s rebirth.
