A former office space in the Fan is getting a mixed-use makeover.
Richmond-based Eck Enterprises is gutting its former Eck Supply Co. headquarters at 6 S. Harvie St. to make way for retail spaces and apartments, general manager Keith Steger said.
He said Eck is targeting a first quarter 2018 delivery for the $3 million, 0.84-acre redevelopment.
“The project has been more than a year in the making,” he said.
Eck Supply vacated the property in December 2015 after the electrical supplier and distributor was purchased that July by North Carolina-based Sonepar USA for an undisclosed amount.
It fell under the umbrella of Eck Enterprises, which also owns and manages several residential and commercial properties in the Fan.
Plans call for 13 one-bedroom apartments above retail spaces ranging from 900 to 2,000 square feet, Steger said. The retail would front West Main Street, in an area Steger said is in demand due to residential growth and access to VCU.
“There is a lot of interest in the property,” he said. “We’ve already had some showings.”
Richmond-based Monument Cos. is the general contractor for the project. Irby Architects is designing the space.
