Riverfront Plaza is a striking twin-tower office complex located in the heart of downtown Richmond. Completed between 1988 and 1990, the 950,000-square-foot development features two 20+ story towers designed by Harwood K. Smith & Partners. The buildings offer panoramic views of the James River and downtown skyline, and are connected by a beautifully landscaped one-acre garden courtyard. Inside, tenants benefit from premium Class A office space, a tenant-exclusive fitness center, a full-service optical center, and a common conference facility with advanced audio/visual capabilities. The complex also includes a car detailing service and ample parking, making it a self-contained professional hub.
Situated at 901 and 951 East Byrd Street, Riverfront Plaza enjoys a premier location along Richmond’s Riverfront in the city’s financial district. Its proximity to major institutions like the State Capitol, VCU Health Systems, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond makes it a strategic base for businesses. The property offers immediate access to Brown’s Island and the Canal Walk, enhancing its appeal for both work and leisure. The site’s walkability and connectivity to public transit options, including GRTC Pulse and bike/scooter share programs, further reinforce its accessibility and urban integration.
Riverfront Plaza is surrounded by a vibrant mix of restaurants, hotels, apartments, and cultural venues. Just steps away, Brown’s Island hosts popular festivals, concerts, and art displays throughout the year, contributing to the area’s dynamic atmosphere. The proposed BridgePark RVA project aims to further enhance the riverfront experience by connecting both sides of the James River with a linear park designed for biking, walking, and community engagement. Whether for dining, entertainment, or outdoor recreation, the surrounding amenities make Riverfront Plaza a highly desirable destination for professionals and visitors alike.
