Fresh renderings of the Terraces

Tuesday, December 02, 2008

Is there a standard length of measurement to qualify something as a stones-throw from something else? Does the arm strength of the speaker, and therefore the rock-thrower matter? And why are people throwing stones, anyway? That seems a dangerous way of measuring.

I ask because the next phase of construction at Rocketts will bring a handful of upscale townhomes to the banks of the James River. I’d very much like to say they’re a stones-throw from the water. I'm confident I can easily throw a stone from where construction will begin into the water of the James. But enough about stones.

The homes will range in size between 3,240 square feet to almost 5,000 square feet. Prices range from $1 million to $1.6 million.

A few more details about the terraces:

-    will be constructed with limestone exteriors
-    include rooftop decks
-    include two-car garages
-    each residence comes with an elevator and fireplace
