Until now, the only way for West End Richmonders to experience a real-city vibe, atmosphere and diverse neighborhoods nearby was to travel to the Fan. But now there is a place that offers many of the familiar local shops and restaurants, as well as the eclectic urban fabric and in-town culture of RVA, out west. Welcome to GreenGate, the West End’s first urban district blending residential and retail that offers experience-rich opportunities at every turn.

Residents and a broad mix of visitors will find a welcoming district filled with character and art made up of the creative class of some of Richmond’s most popular and well-known businesses, not to mention some popular, under-the-radar names from outside the region as well. Exterior walls painted by local artists – a project inspired and spearheaded by well-known local painter and muralist Ed Trask – will lend an immersive, youthful, energetic feel. Strolling the bustling streets will be an experience in itself.

Far beyond your typical shopping center, GreenGate is more refined and higher quality than other developments, with attention paid to architectural details inspired by Richmond’s history and authentic style, selectivity of retailers and a commitment to local vendors. GreenGate truly is knocking down the wall between urban and suburban. So come on out – because if you like the Fan, you’ll love the Gate!
