Richmond’s newest office tower can stand a little taller.
Gateway Plaza, the 18-story building completed last year at 120 S. Ninth St. by Chicago-based developer Clayco, was named Project of the Year at the Greater Richmond Association for Commercial Real Estate’s 15th annual awards ceremony Tuesday evening.
Held at The Country Club of Virginia, the event honored 15 local projects and nine local transactions.
The $124 million, 307,000-square-foot Gateway Plaza is anchored by law firm McGuireWoods, which vacated James Center in favor of the new tower. Other tenants include TowneBank, CCA Industries and Potbelly Sandwich Shop. BizSense held its first Hard Hat Happy Hour on the building’s unfinished ninth floor last month.
Other honorees from the evening included Robin Miller, Dan Gecker and Mark Purcell’s 10-story Terraces at Manchester, Ted and Katie Ukrop’s Quirk Hotel, Henrico County’s Libbie Mill Library, and the Tait Saunders Mulvaney office in Scott’s Addition, built by Louis Salomonsky’s SWA Construction.

Was the Stone Brewery deal an actual sale? One city agency picked it up from another city agency and did a build to suit lease to Stone, right? No transfer price, any transfer taxes?
