A one story event space-turned church may soon be replaced by–or be part of–a taller, higher density development as an out-of-town developer eyes their first project in Richmond along Cutshaw Avenue. Movement Church currently uses the space, but the wheels of change may start turning in April, when their lease is up.

The church was gifted the former Patterson Avenue Baptist Church building last year, which disbanded and handed the keys over to the younger congregation at Movement Church. Renovations to the structure are already underway and the Movement Church folks should move in by the time their lease is up on Cutshaw.

From Richmond BizSense:

For its first foray into the Richmond market, an out-of-town development firm has snagged a site between the Museum District and Scott’s Addition. Charlottesville-based Stony Point Design/Build earlier this month purchased 3013 Cutshaw Ave. for $1.9 million. The 10,000-square-foot building, which houses Movement Church, most recently was assessed for $790,000. The buyer has a track record of mixed-use developments, with several projects underway across Charlottesville and in Harwich Port, Massachusetts.
