The Navy Hill proposal calls for a 17,500-seat arena that would replace the Richmond Coliseum; more than 2,000 apartments and condominiums; a high-rise hotel; 1 million square feet of commercial and office space; 260,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space; renovation of the historic Blues Armory; a new transfer plaza for GRTC Transit System bus riders; and infrastructure improvements.

It hinges on a special tax district that would use new tax revenues to pay down debt on the new arena.

VCU Health’s proposed complex would be built on the block between Ninth and 10th streets from Leigh to Clay streets where the Richmond Public Services building was previously located.

The complex would include 250 office spaces; replacement facilities for The Doorways, a nonprofit organization that provides housing for hospital patients and their families; a new Ronald McDonald House, which provides housing for the families of children in the hospital; child care; a pharmacy; shopping; dining; and 1,500 parking spaces, according to a VCU Health news release.

The land, which is currently owned by the city, would be sold to a private developer and leased by VCU, making the property taxable, the news release said.
