A tobacco warehouse conversion in the city’s Southside, an apartments rehab in Carver, new townhomes in Manchester and a new Scott’s Addition restaurant were among 11 local preservation and revitalization projects recognized with Golden Hammer Awards at a ceremony last week.
The annual awards, presented by Historic Richmond and Storefront for Community Design, recognize projects in categories that include adaptive reuse, new construction, placemaking, residential and restoration.
“Best adaptive reuse” awards went to Port City, a $28.6 million conversion of the former American Tobacco Co. complex at 800 Jefferson Davis Highway into hundreds of apartments. Developer Tom Wilkinson worked with Walter Parks Architects, ONeil Engineering Services, contractor KBS and tax credit consultant Salder & Whitehead.

Harrison St. in Carver, was recognized in the “Best adaptive reuse and new construction” category. The nonprofit worked with architect Johannas Design Group and engineers DMWPV, Staengl Engineering and Silvercore. KBS was the contractor and Sadler & Whitehead consulted on tax credits.
