All 2010 homes were on the tour for the first time.

From extreme chic to ultra contemporary, this year’s Downtown Loft Tour featured a mix of price points and styles ranging from Soho-styled lofts to two-story penthouses with sweeping views of the river and the Richmond skyline. The tour is unique because you get to meet the owners and residents, see their space and hear their stories about living downtown. The tour showcased 15 lofts in nine buildings across six downtown neighborhoods including Jackson Ward, City Center, Shockoe Bottom, Manchester, Rocketts Landing, and along the Riverfront/Canal Walk.

Venture Richmond’s third annual Downtown Loft Tour was held Saturday, March 27, 2010, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. More than 1,050 tickets were sold.

The Downtown Loft Tour is an award-winning event. Recognized for outstanding achievement, the International Downtown Association presented Venture Richmond with a 2009 Award of Distinction for the Downtown Loft Tour and Image Marketing Campaign.
