Downtown Norfolk Revitalization

In the past decades, the City of Norfolk has launched a massive initiative focusing on infill and urban revitalization. Together with our clients, CMSS has been privileged to be an active participant in this effort to re-engage the community with its historic downtown.

As architect and planner for one of the most notable downtown developments, Heritage at Freemason Harbour, CMSS helped pioneer the resurgence of downtown development. Since then, the firm has provided master planning, architectural design, and streetscape and landscape design on a variety of infill components such as the Dominion Enterprises Corporate Headquarters, 150 West Main Tower, One Bank Street Tower, PierPointe Condominiums, 388 Boush Street, the NorVa Theater, Harbor Heights, and a number of mixed-use and adaptive re-use projects along Granby Street.

The success of these projects has helped pave the way for a renewed Downtown Norfolk, resulting in an economic resurgence, a rising demand for housing, a booming tourism trade, and a vibrant downtown district.
