Seeking Qualifications for Developers & Development Teams
City of Norfolk Military Circle Redevelopment Request For Qualifications (RFQ) Seeking Qualifications for Developers & Development Teams 999 Waterside Drive Deadline: November 20, 2020 COB Suite 2430, Norfolk, VA 23510 (757) 664-4338 norfolkdevelopment.com Introduction Purpose of RFQ The Economic Development Authority of the City of Norfolk (EDA) invites qualified local, regional, and national real estate developers and their development teams to submit their qualifications for consideration to lead the redevelopment of Military Circle Mall, an under-performing asset in the City of Norfolk. The EDA is a political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia authorized to acquire, own, lease, and dispose of properties, promote industry, and develop trade for the benefit of the City of Norfolk. The EDA purchased the Mall property and the former DoubleTree Hotel in June 2020. The EDA is seeking statements of qualifications from real estate developers and their development teams to lead the redevelopment of Military Circle Mall. The approximately 935,000 square-foot mall, its parking lots and outparcels occupy approximately 89 acres— of which approximately 73 are EDA owned or controlled—at the crossroads of two interstate highways in the heart of the Hampton Roads region (see map in Appendix A). It is the EDA’s intent that Military Circle be transformed into a mixed-use district with office, multi- family residential, retail and other amenities that will revitalize the commercial corridor in which it sits. The office development will be undertaken in consideration of an existing 200,000 square-foot Optima Health office building adjacent to the mall on approximately 16 acres that is owned by MBP, Inc.

Theaters and Performing Arts Companies in Hampton Roads
Theaters & Performing Arts Companies THE PLAY’S THE THING: THEATERS AND PERFORMING ARTS COMPANIES IN HAMPTON ROADS ll of Hampton Roads is but a stage and the theater companies merely players that strut across it. Yet, what a stage it is! The area’s companies provide a rich menu of thought-provoking and entertaining productions, all of which enhance Athe region with vital cultural and economic benefits. The vibrant community of thespians in Hampton Roads premiered in the late 19th and early 20th centuries at venues like The Academy of Music, and the American, the Colonial and the Wells theaters, where vaudeville mixed with drama and the emerging moving picture amusements. In fact, in the early days of the 20th century, Norfolk was viewed as the cultural “gateway to the south.” A brief decline into adult entertainment occurred in several of these theaters during the middle of the 20th century, followed by a slow and deliberate emergence into a healthy and engaging theatrical life. Currently, the theatrical venues of Hampton Roads boast several major professional companies, a changing plate of smaller com- munity performing companies, and a host of universities and colleges stretching the diversity of dramatic selections. Whether sup- ported by magnanimous corporate sponsorship, dedicated avocational passions or the hobby of a few rich patrons of the arts, local theater contributes significantly to the revitalization of Hampton Roads communities. THE WELLS THEATRE Since opening in 1913, the historic landmark New Wells Theatre welcomed guests into an ornate and exquisite venue of beaux-arts classicism, originally seating 1,650 with a top balcony “For Negro Audiences Only.” It once featured “Ben Hur,” with chariots on treadmills, and hosted the likes of Fred and Adele Astaire, Will Rogers and John Philip Sousa.

The Big Dome October 15, 2020 | Source: http://spotlightnews.press/index.php/2020/10/15/the-big-dome/ Words by Penny Neef Photos by David Sullivan Featured Image Courtesy of The Norfolk Housing and Redevelopment Authority Scope Arena is a landmark in downtown Norfolk. It’s hard to miss that big dome of concrete and the 24 midcentury modern flying buttresses that surround it and support it. There have been many impressive arenas built around the world, but Scope remains the world’s largest thin-shell concrete domed building. The world’s largest, right here in Hampton Roads. Scope Arena was designed as just one part of Norfolk Cultural and Convention Center, which also includes Chrysler Hall, the plaza that connects the two buildings, a below grade Exhibition Hall and an underground parking garage. Construction began in 1968 on the north edge of downtown Norfolk. This massive project was conceived as a post-WW II revitalization of Norfolk. City leaders wanted to “step up” Norfolk’s cultural footprint, and attract sports teams,bigger acts and bigger crowds to Hampton Roads. The city leaders, led by Lawrence Cox, Executive Director of Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority (NRHA), were willing to go cutting edge on design and construction. They wanted to build something “iconic” that would attract attention (and visitors) to Hampton Roads. This led them to Pier Luigi Nervi, an Italian architect know best for his expertise in using reinforced concrete to create curving forms and domed structures. Nervi designed Pallazzetto dello Sport for the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome. Basketball was played there.
