Marshall Street Bakery is the best-amenitized small condo regime in Richmond — 23 units, 23 deeded garage spaces, a secluded courtyard, an exercise room, and an elevator-access roof deck — built into the 1909 Mother Herbert's Bakery on the edge of Jackson Ward.
Insider’s view — any red flags?
The Marshall Street Bakery has a lot of very interesting design elements. The interior courtyard is rare for a project of its size, and the common roof deck is a nice touch. Light tubes are used to get light into interior spaces, especially on the lower levels. The entry hallway off Marshall Street is reminiscent of a New York speakeasy. Very cool. As a personal note, I wish people could see the burned out shell of a building that became Marshall Street Bakery. Why? Because it shows the power of the historic tax credit program and the impact it had on Richmond. What became the condos was literally nothing but a brick facade and a concrete floor.
Red flags: The parking lot can be a bit cramped so space selection is critical, and unit width can be an issue in some of the units. Also, the interior units on the lower floors are dark, despite the light 'tubes' that were used to try to mitigate the light issue. And the Marshall / Brook / Adams corridor is a very tough area to street park, so a two car household will struggle a bit.
History
The original building is the 1909 Mother Herbert's Bakery, sited near the triangle at Broad and Adams Streets. The conversion landed in the mid-2000s, contemporaneous with Emrick Flats, The 212, 2C, and The Sanctuary — the cluster of Jackson Ward and Brook-Adams projects that turned the neighborhood from medical-school commuter zone into residential destination. Twenty-three residential units sit above roughly 3,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial.
Design & units
Units run one- and two-bedroom, 700 to 1,300 square feet, with bamboo floors, granite counters, maple cabinets, and a higher trim spec than is typical for the conversion class. The roof deck is accessed by elevator — a rarity in Richmond condo product, where most roof decks involve a staircase from the top-floor hallway and a propped fire door. Twenty-three deeded garage spaces means a 1:1 owner-to-parking ratio, which is also uncommon in the city's small-conversion regimes.
Neighborhood
110 West Marshall Street sits between VCU's Monroe Park Campus and the Medical School, giving the building a self-renewing buyer pool of medical residents and graduate students alongside young professionals. Jackson Ward's continued reinvestment — restaurants, galleries, the Hippodrome's reopening — has lifted the everyday convenience score steadily since conversion.
What sets it apart
The amenity-density-per-unit ratio is the headline. Most 23-unit conversions cannot support an elevator-accessed roof deck, an exercise room, and a secluded courtyard at sustainable HOA dues. Marshall Street Bakery does. The 1:1 deeded garage parking and the carefully-sized ground-floor commercial component (about 12% of total square footage) keep the operational profile clean.
