ABOUT SHOCKOE BOTTOM
Shockoe Bottom is one of Richmond’s oldest and most historic neighborhoods. Today, as a center for lively businesses and entertainment venues, Shockoe Bottom is home to some of Richmond’s most well-known shops and restaurants. In addition, Shockoe Bottom is also a popular residential area for those who choose an urban lifestyle where they can combine the best aspects of city-living.
Richmond’s iconic Main Street Station and the 17th St Farmers Market are famous landmarks in this neighborhood. The central business district, VCU Medical Center, and VA Bio+Tech Park are also within walking distance of this neighborhood. This proximity to some of the region’s largest employers and institutions makes Shockoe Bottom a popular residential area for students and young professionals. This demand can be seen in the number of new and renovated multifamily residential units that have been constructed in the past 20 years. Former tobacco warehouses have been converted to join new construction in providing some of the City’s most
distinctive urban apartments. Historically the hub for Richmond’s shipping and commerce, the area played a major role in trade throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. Until the end of the American Civil War in 1865, this commerce included the human trade as Shockoe Bottom was the second largest slave trading center in the U.S. In 2007, a 15-foot, half-ton bronze sculpture named the Richmond Slavery Reconciliation Statue was unveiled as part of the Richmond Slave Trail to raise awareness and increase informational accuracy about Richmond’s role in the slave trade. This memorial sits not far from the former slave market in Shockoe Bottom.
