An Inside Look At “The Wainwright Downtown”

Construction at the historic Wainwright Building in Downtown Norfolk recently wrapped up and tenants are now moving into the newly renovated apartment building renamed "The Wainwright Downtown."


Last Friday, the developers held a rooftop reception offering people the chance to check out the building.  The rooftop features a sky lounge with a 360 degree view of Norfolk (something difficult to find downtown, believe it or not), a large grilling area and actually does feature a small dog park. I can see the entire rooftop being a huge draw for potential tenants.








Apartments are renting at $1,000 and $2,000, with most apartments priced at about $1,200.  The apartment complex will also have off the street parking, a cyber cafe and fitness center.  The units were stylish and fitting of the urban lifestyle with stainless appliances, granite counter-tops, exposed brick, hardwood floors, and modern tile back-splashing. The best news came from the sales staff, who said a large majority of the tenants are from outside of Norfolk, which is kind of a big deal for downtown to draw folks in.
