Citizen 6 is about to rise.
Crews recently tore down a 1950s-era office building on a half-acre Floyd Avenue site to make way for a rare dose of new single-family construction in the Fan.
Local developer Bill Chapman said construction of the six modern row houses at 2615-2619 Floyd Ave. – a project dubbed Citizen 6 – should begin any day now.

“We’re anxiously awaiting a building permit,” he said. “We’re excited to get started.”
Two of the six homes are already under contract, and Chapman said there has been a new wave of interest in the project since the demolition.
Richmond-based CKO Construction will build Citizen 6. Chapman said the homes will be constructed simultaneously and are slated for completion in late December.
“We’ll put a big bow on it for Christmas Day,” Chapman said with a laugh.
Citizen 6 was designed by architect Burt Pinnock of Baskervill.
The houses vary in size from 2,100 to 2,800 square feet. Sales prices range from $550,000 to $699,000.
Chapman is financing the project through First Capital Bank. He declined to say how much the project will cost to build.
One South Realty Group is handling the listings.
The demolished Floyd Avenue office building previously housed Hunnicutt Construction, which moved to 2907 Park Ave., its website says. Previous tenants Dodson Property Management and River Bend Property Services are now located at 409 E. Main St., according to their websites.
Chapman’s other projects have included the Decatur condominiums in Manchester and Parkway 301, a seven-story building in Roanoke.

Looks like another great project by Bill Chapman Enterprises!!!
The rendering of the row houses doesn’t appear to be compatible with the Fan.
Is the city really going to approve them?
Great market adjustment. We have too many commercial buildings, and not enough residential ones.
I agree, it will be interesting to see if these plans get approved. The City is desperate for additional revenue, so why not.
