Property Overview

The Superior Building is a well-appointed mixed-use office building in the historic and revitalized Shockoe Bottom district of Downtown Richmond. This building features 20,000 square feet of commercial space on the first floor, and a residential component on the second floor, complemented by a gorgeous central atrium with high and exposed ceilings. Currently available on the first floor, discover a well-maintained 1,176-square-foot, mostly open, fully built-out office space with two private offices. The Superior Building is nestled in a bustling historic corridor, highlighted by Richmond's classic cobblestone streets and timeless red-and-white brick facades, within a five-minute walk of dozens of eclectic eateries showcasing global cuisines, boutique retailers, and lavish cocktail lounges. Positioned just off E Main Street, the property benefits from excellent exposure to 15,882 vehicles per day, along with convenient street parking in front and approximately 15 off-street spaces in a private lot to the side. Enjoy exceptional connectivity sitting central to primary Richmond roadways, with near direct access (0.2 miles) to Broad Street, a half-mile from Interstate 95 and Highway 360, 1 mile from Highway 60, and 1.5 miles from Interstate 64. One of the biggest advantages of the Superior Building is the unmatched walkability and access to public transportation. Richmond’s Main Street Station and parking lot are a brisk two-minute walk from the office, and a GRTC Pulse bus stop is a one-minute walk away. In addition, Richmond International Airport is an 8-mile drive away, an ideal solution for swift business travel needs.

Tyler Potterfield Memorial, which crosses the James River and provides sweeping views of Downtown Richmond’s skyline. A $30 million revamp at Brown’s Island is currently underway, introducing new lifestyle-enhancing amenities slated for completion in Fall 2026. The Superior Building is the home to a roster of esteemed creative commercial tenants, including Tilt Creative, Dovetail, Wireside, TFB, Idea Financial, and Superior Creamery. These businesses are supported by robust demographics within a 10-mile radius, with 258,135 households boasting an average household income of $99,170, driving $7.7 billion in annual consumer spending.
