The building boom in Richmond continues, with the Manchester area in South Side being one of the hottest areas for apartment construction. These photos show the construction of the Riverview Apartments by Alabama-based LIV Development on 7 acres at Semmes and Cowardin avenues just east of the Lee Bridge. When complete next year, the $50 million development is to offer 269 units in seven buildings. Begun in 2019, the development is just the latest in the area. Across the street on the site of a former car dealership, development is underway on another 180 units. A host of other apartments are in planning or under construction to the east, such as River’s Edge II, The Current and South Falls.
