One Canal

Located in Richmond's historic Monroe Ward, this mixed-use development boasts incredible views and truly signature spaces.

One Canal offers a range of one and two bedroom units, with varying styles of finish, starting from loft style industrial apartments in the podium level and more refined finishes on the upper floors. The main objective was to maximize rentable square footage while using the building massing to create interesting facades and provide daylight for the units.
