Richmond’s Prestwould condo Unit 9D sells after full renovation

Park 27 founder Chris Small and contractor Jeremy Creasey bought, renovated and staged Unit 9D in Richmond’s Prestwould Condominium, which closed July 10 for $585,000. The project underscores demand for historic homes that mix preserved architecture with updated systems and move-in-ready design.

Why it matters: - Unit 9D shows how a historic Richmond condo can be updated for modern buyers without losing the architectural details that define its value. - The sale highlights continued interest in the Prestwould, a landmark tower long described as Richmond’s only New York-style condominium. - The project also reflects a broader local formula: renovation craft plus professional staging can help older luxury homes compete quickly.

What happened: - Chris Small, founder of Park 27, and Jeremy Creasey of JS Creasey Contracting and Investments bought and renovated Unit 9D in The Prestwould Condominium. - The 1927 residence closed July 10, 2026, for $585,000. - Jsquared Interior Staging and Design staged the home for market after the renovation was completed. - The unit sits nine floors above Monroe Park in Richmond.

The details: - The Prestwould was designed by Sir Alfred Bossom, the British architect behind the building’s original landmark profile. - The residence measures 1,880 square feet. - The renovation preserved the 29-foot entry foyer, skyline-facing windows, the masonry fireplace and the room proportions built for entertaining. - The update added a new kitchen with quartz finishes and Cafe appliances. - The renovation also included two new marble baths, updated systems and high-efficiency air conditioning. - The building itself has about $1.4 million in reserves and ongoing improvements, part of its wider renewal. - Small said the unit deserved a renovation that took its history seriously. - Johnathan H. Miller, founder and CEO of Jsquared Interior Staging and Design, said the furnishing was intended to let the architecture lead and show buyers how the home lives.

Between the lines: - The project was a personal investment for Small and Creasey, not just a standard brokerage assignment. - The staging choice matters because a vacant historic home can feel hard to read; furnished rooms help buyers understand scale and use. - The sale reinforces a Richmond pattern where history, craftsmanship and presentation can matter as much as price. - Park 27, JS Creasey Contracting and Investments and Jsquared have already been tied to other Fan and Museum District sales at or above asking price.

What’s next: - The Prestwould’s ongoing improvements and reserve position suggest the building remains positioned for continued preservation and marketability. - Park 27 and Jsquared are likely to keep leaning on the same renovation-plus-staging model in Richmond’s historic neighborhoods. - More information is available at Jsquaredrva.com.

The bottom line: - Unit 9D’s sale is a clean example of how a landmark property can be refreshed for the next century without erasing what made it special.
