Testimonials
Downtown Norfolk is a great place to set up shop, no matter what business you’re in. But don’t take our word for it, get it straight from those who know first-hand.
“It's one young entrepreneur following another down here.”
Mel Price, Principal, Work Program Architects
The face of Downtown business is changing and younger it is. Mel Price calls this "the new startup capital for the region," and the signs are everywhere: bike racks as art, public parks, all-glass office fronts and 24/7 energy. "We received 20 new clients our first two weeks in business." Isn't it your time Downtown?
“The positive change down here is real and we're proud to be a part of it.”
Drew Ungvarsky, President, Grow Interactive
Working with huge, internationally known clients is great, but Drew Ungvarsky gets an equal kick from making things happen right next door: "Moving Downtown has been incredible for our employees, our position in the community, and our ability to impact our surroundings." It's a spirit taking hold with new companies moving in every month. And it's only going to grow.
