A food-and-beverage incubator in Richmond’s Southside was among the top honorees at two recent awards ceremonies recognizing standout real estate projects in the region.
Hatch Kitchen RVA at Clopton Siteworks took home trophies in both the Greater Richmond Association for Commercial Real Estate’s annual awards and the Golden Hammer awards put on by nonprofits Historic Richmond and Storefront for Community Design.
The three-building Hatch campus includes a co-working commercial kitchen, private commercial kitchens, a 125-seat café and other production and warehousing space. It is part of Lynx Ventures’ redevelopment of the former tobacco storage warehouses at Maury and Clopton streets.
Hatch’s portion of the site won the incubator award in GRACRE’s 20th annual ceremony, as well as one of two Golden Hammers presented this year in the “best adaptive reuse” category.
It was the only nominee to win awards in both competitions. In addition to Lynx, project team members included Fultz & Singh Architects, JIW Architecture, Balzer & Associates, M.L. Bell Construction and Sadler & Whitehead LLC.
