Positioned prominently on a corner in the heart of Manchester, this historic two-story building offers a rare opportunity to lease space in one of Richmond’s most dynamic neighborhoods. Formerly the Thalhimer Department Store, the property combines architectural character with modern infrastructure, making it ideal for businesses seeking a distinctive presence.

Renovated about 15 years ago, the building was thoughtfully restored to serve as a nonprofit headquarters, blending historic charm with updated systems. Its scale and adaptability allow for a wide range of uses, from creative office to retail storefronts, with the ability to subdivide or demise by floor. Located along Hull Street, one of Manchester’s most prominent commercial corridors, the property benefits from strong visibility and proximity to a growing residential population and an influx of new businesses, including popular eateries and local shops. Nearby cultural destinations like The Venus Theater add to the area’s vibrant energy.
Manchester is experiencing rapid revitalization, fueled by creative energy and strategic development. With excellent connectivity to downtown Richmond and access to parks, trails, and waterfront activities, this location offers businesses a unique chance to establish a destination that blends history, character, and modern readiness at the center of a thriving community.
