Richmond Petersburg, VA, October 13, 2026 — Construction activities have commenced at 1600 Roseneath Road in Richmond’s Scott’s Addition neighborhood, marking the initial phase for a significant new development. The site, formerly occupied by the Dairy Bar complex, is currently undergoing demolition.
The demolition work paves the way for a new, seven-story mixed-use development planned by Capital Square. This project is set to transform the prominent location within Scott’s Addition, an area known for its industrial past and recent revitalization efforts.
