Here’s what happened ⬇️  On the night of January 23rd, 2020, the historic Bedford Middle School building, that was built in the 1920s, caught fire

Only 5 minutes later, the fire trucks showed up to lots of smoke and a fire

That fire evenually caused several roofs to collapse just 30 minutes after the first 911 call

Good news: Nobody got hurt

The building was actually in the process of being renovated at the time  Nobody was in the building
 But this was 5 years ago.

Where does this building stand now?  Do you think you could save a building after it got burnt to a crisp?  Waukeshaw Development, a developer that specializes in reimagining historical properties in smaller cities/towns, headquarterd in Petersburg VA, was tasked with re-imaginging the property

Did they build a super walmart? Nope  Did they build a data center? Defintiely not
 They brought this historic building back to life and turned it into apartments
 No millennial gray apartments here  This is thoughtful design that pays homage to the beautiful architecture of a previous generatoin

On October 22nd, the Flora is now open for immediate move-ins

(and NO, this is not sponsored - your boy isn’t balling like that 😂)  The Flora features a rooftop deck with amazing views of The Peaks of Otter

Courtyards, communal spaces, and innovative design across 59 apartments

The Flora features 1 and 2 bedroom apartments that range from 520 to 904 square feet

It’s all happening right in Bedford County

Do you like seeing these older properties get turned into something exciting?   What local landmarks would you like to see re-imagined in/around Lynchburg?  💭Comment “BEDFORD” and I’ll send you the link to see more on The Flora Apartments

👋 I’m Drake, a Lynchburg realtor who loves our Lynchburg area and I break down what’s actually happening so you can make smart decisions.

Semi-big news and some even bigger moves recently for clients of mine!

All of these homes pictured are currently pending sale - and I can't begin to tell you how stoked I am for all of my clients!

I’ve had the privilege of helping friends, families, new clients, and investors make some major life shifts—whether it's moving across town, moving out of state, or letting go of an investment property that served its time. Every house pictured and client of mine has a story, and I’m over the moon they trusted me to help them in starting the next chapter of their lives.

If you're planning to start a new chapter or if you'd like to catch up, message me here on linkedin or reach out directly at 434.544.1174.

Life’s crazy, and we both understand that we'll all miss a message or two—so if I slipped up or you did, no worries. You're still more than welcome to reach out.
