The Essen
Nordheimer’s first office to multifamily conversion is a 120+ unit project in Alexandria, VA. Nordheimer Companies acquired the 132,000 square foot office building in 2022 and are conducting a full renovation of the building. Located in an opportunity zone, adjacent to I-395, 300+ parking spaces in an adjacent structure, and walking distance to a major bus line, it is a phenomenal location. 1801 is adjacent to the 44+ acre Winkler Botanical Preserve with nature hikes and waterfalls, it is a very unique back yard for our residents. As of March, 2024, construction is ongoing and leasing activity is set to begin later this summer.
The Nordheimers acquired the former hydroelectric plant at 1201 Haxall Point in January of 2024. Partnering with Drew Wiltshire and Thalhimer Realty Partners. The former hydro plant will be reimagined as an active social hub on downtown Richmond’s Canal Walk. Between Padel Plant, Smokestack Pizza & Bar, and The Plant Cafe, The Plant will be an incredible amenity for Richmond centered around great sport, food, drink, and community. The Nordheimers have envisioned an atmosphere and community unlike any other. The Plant will re-open after being vacant for 50 years in early 2025.
