A local law firm is so proud of its new Shockoe Bottom digs that it decided to show them off.

Kaplan Voekler Cunningham & Frank hosted an open house Thursday at its new home in the old These Four Walls space at 1401 E. Cary St.

The law firm is spread across three floors and 17,500 square feet of the four-story former furniture store.

Kaplan Voekler executive director Laura Osborne said the new space has a modern look that incorporates many of the rustic features original to the building. The design kept the original wood and concrete floors and showed off old beams throughout the space.

The law firm has 22 attorneys and 10 staff members. It relocated in October from a smaller office at 7 E. Second St. in Manchester.

Local real estate firm Capital Square Management owns the East Cary Street building. City & Guilds was the general contractor, Osborne said. Chris Fultz of Richmond-based Fultz Architects was lead architect, with Baskervill assisting him with the design. Dunlap and Partners did the engineering.

Other tenants settling into the building include Feedback, a social media research and strategy company, and Canal Capital Management, an investment firm. Those firms share the fourth floor.

This is a perfect example of why we don’t need a baseball stadium in Shockoe Bottom to generate economic development.
