This is Capital Square's seventh opportunity zone fund and fifth apartment community being developed in Richmond.

The area is known for its food, drink and entertainment amenities, including 13 breweries, cideries, meaderies and distilleries, within a walkable, seven block area. The area caters to a growing number of millennial residents and empty-nesters.
Once a hub for industrial buildings and businesses, Scott's Addition is the number one "millennial hot-spot" in Virginia, with a 43% increase in millennials in just five years, according to RENTCafe. Scott's Addition is the second-highest performing market in Richmond, according to Yardi Matrix.

Our team is excited to begin our fifth multifamily development in Scott's Addition. Capital Square is building the future of Richmond."
Opportunity zones were created to stimulate long-term private investments in low-income urban and rural communities nationwide.
