The Terraces at Manchester Apartment Building

The Terraces at Manchester is a new 10-story apartment building in Old Manchester, just south of downtown Richmond, VA, with stunning views of the James River and city skyline. The building offers a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments paired with modern amenities, including a pool, hot tub, fitness center, a fifth-floor dog walk, and a tenth-floor sky lounge. A large third-floor open terrace provides outdoor gathering space for residents, and an enclosed parking garage ensures secure parking.

Beardsley Architects + Engineers, collaborating with developer-builder partners and local consultants, provided architectural and structural engineering services from design through construction. The team successfully navigated a tight urban site, zoning constraints, and an aggressive timeline using a fast-track design-build approach. While the two-story cast-in-place parking structure was under construction, a prefabricated metal stud bearing wall system was manufactured off-site and delivered just in time for installation, requiring careful structural and architectural coordination.

The Terraces at Manchester offers residents quality urban living close to river parks and neighborhood amenities, enriching the revitalized Old Manchester community.
