Nevin Plaza Apartments is a seven-story, 140-unit affordable housing community in Richmond serving seniors and individuals with disabilities. Developed by EAH Housing in partnership with the City of Richmond and the Richmond Housing Authority, the project preserves long-term affordability while modernizing the building to meet current safety, accessibility, and comfort standards.
The renovation included:
-
Full interior upgrades: New kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, finishes, and energy-efficient windows
-
Building systems modernization: Complete replacement of plumbing, HVAC, mechanical, and electrical systems
-
Common area improvements: Renovated community rooms, laundry facilities, property management offices, and gathering spaces
-
Exterior and site work: Reconfigured courtyard with accessible pathways, new landscaping, updated entryways, and public art installations
Rehabilitating a fully occupied senior housing building required careful phasing and resident protection to keep essential services operational and circulation safe. Close coordination among EAH Housing, city agencies, and design consultants ensured the project met funding, accessibility, and safety requirements while minimizing disruption for residents.
