About the Overlook
In the early 2000’s, developer Steve Middleton with Commonwealth Properties saw an opportunity in a piece of land strategically ‘overlooking’ the James River and Downtown. Sensing the coming re-urbanization of Richmond, the site was purchased and the concept of the Overlook was born.
Located at the southernmost tip of Oregon Hill, the site not only offers commanding views but incredible access to the River, Downtown, and Richmond’s finest festivals.
