Nevin Plaza is a two-phase project centered on the original Nevin Plaza public housing complex built in 1985. The original Nevin Plaza complex is a seven-story, 106,092-square-foot building in downtown Richmond. It is one of the Richmond Housing Authority’s major rehabilitation projects to bring quality affordable housing for seniors and people with disabilities to the city’s core. Phase One entails the comprehensive renovation and upgrades to both the exterior and interior of the existing 140-unit building, including refurbished, energy-efficient building systems; interior upgrades to all units with new finishes, kitchens, and bathrooms; as well as facility-wide accessibility and landscape improvements.
Phase Two constructs a new five-story, 105,000-square-foot building with 79 new units. The new building shares an entry with the existing building and incorporates a sizeable multi-purpose room for residents and offices for resident services and property management. The entire Nevin Plaza project includes a robust community/public art program that engages local artists for unique façade treatments, including murals and laser-cut metal art panels by local artists with developmental disabilities from NIAD and an enamel art frieze by Oakland artist and muralist Alexandra Bowman.
