RICHMOND, VIRGINIA:  Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer is excited to announce Schwarzschild Jewelers has leased 5,500 square feet at Carytown Exchange located at 3550-3403 West Cary Street & 3403-3550 Ellwood Avenue in the City of Richmond, Virginia.

Schwarzschild Jewelers will be moving from their current location at Cary Court Shopping Center. Schwarzschild Jewelers at Carytown Exchange will anchor the main building that faces Cary Street alongside J.P. Morgan Chase and other high-end retailers. The new custom-built location will have a modern yet elegant look and feel featuring state-of-the-art displays and amenities. The exterior of the building will keep with the eclectic nature of Carytown by showcasing an intense blue hue. The interior will highlight Schwarzschild’s commitment to customer service – showcasing boutiques from some of the world’s top jewelry and watch brands, a built-in entertainment bar, and an on-site jeweler and watchmaker for quick service. A grand opening will be held upon completion of construction scheduled for mid-2023. Schwarzschild Jewelers celebrates their 125th anniversary in 2023. 

“Today, Carytown is one of the area’s most vibrant shopping areas in the City of Richmond,” said Kiley Schiffman Storrs, Director of Marketing for Schwarzschild Jewelers. “Schwarzschild has a tradition of innovation and culture geared towards providing the highest level of customer service to our clients, which includes positioning our stores in areas that are most convenient to our customers. Our new location puts us right where we want to be – in the center of one of the highest traffic areas, allowing us to provide the best experience possible.” 

“Schiffman’s is the owner of Schwarzschild’s with both family’s dating back to the 1890’s while Thalhimer originated in 1913. Thalhimer continues to look for prize real estate for its clients like Schwarzschild’s, who have been around for over 120 years. Interestingly enough, my grandfather, Morton G. Thalhimer, assisted Harry Schwarzschild in the 1920s in his efforts in real estate, banking and retail. Our relationships continue for generations due to our continued service and professionalism to our clients, tenants, and landlords,” said Richard L. Thalhimer, Senior Vice President, Thalhimer.

“We really strive for Carytown to be the strongest mix of local and national operators we could provide, while staying true to the spirit of the neighborhood. Schwarzschild is such a legacy staple of Richmond, and their dedication to quality and service have given them a well-deserved reputation for a reason,” said Nate Smith, Vice President of Investments for Regency Centers. “Family-owned businesses like these are exactly the kinds of operations we seek out. The care and commitment they make to their community is both professional and personal, and we couldn’t be happier to welcome them to Carytown Exchange.”

Richard L. Thalhimer of Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer represented Schwarzschild in the lease negotiations; James Ashby IV and David Crawford, also with Thalhimer, represented the landlord, Regency Centers.
