Richmond BizSense is headed to one of the most eye-catching buildings in the city’s most sought after neighborhood to close out the inaugural year of our popular Hard Hat Happy Hours.
The 87,000-square-foot, art deco HandCraft Cleaners building at 1501 Roseneath Road in Scott’s Addition is set to be the site of the fourth installment of BizSense’s quarterly networking series on the evening of Dec. 7.
Attendees will get an up-close glimpse of the property’s ongoing transformation from an industrial laundry facility to a multi-tenant building that’s already attracted a handful of tenants, including a well-funded startup, a new brewery and a local financial firm.
The goal of the Hard Hat Happy Hours is to take the local business community inside the area’s most talked-about new real estate development projects; and so it seemed only fitting to finish the first year in Scott’s Addition, a neighborhood that has been on a non-stop streak of attracting developers and investors for apartments, offices, restaurants and breweries.

That activity prompted the HandCraft building’s owners, brothers Jay, Keith and Jeff Nichols, who also own of HandCraft Cleaners, to recruit brokers Read Goode and Cheryle Toy of Divaris Real Estate to reposition the building as a centerpiece of the burgeoning neighborhood.
Those representatives of the property will be on hand at the event to talk about its evolution and who else might fill the remaining 35,000 remaining square feet.
And as always, plenty of food, beverages and valuable networking will be had.
Tickets for Hard Hat Happy Hour IV are now on sale at our Eventbrite page. Early bird pricing is set at $45 and will go up as the event gets closer.
This event follows previous Hard Hat installments that brought crowds of more than 200 to the Gateway Plaza Tower downtown, the former Flood Zone/Have a Nice Day Café building in Shockoe Bottom and Triple Crossing Brewing’s new facility in Fulton.
The series is made possible by our sponsors, including presenting sponsor Sands Anderson, as well as Keiter, TowneBank, Timmons Group, Safe Harbor Title, S.B. Cox, Postbellum, RJ Smith Companies and Kathy Corbet Interiors.

Congrats to Divaris and the Nichols Brothers for their successful conversion to commercial uses. Frankly I didn’t think it would work but we’re on this earth to learn!
