Neighborhood Life

Gathering places. Workplaces. And wide open spaces.

The redeveloped Tidewater Gardens, now known as Kindred, will create the best of city living, with new shops, restaurants, offices, gathering places and wide open park spaces. It will restore historic Church Street as the commercial, civic and social heart of the community, celebrate the area’s rich culture and history, and resolve decades-old flooding issues. All in a walkable street grid that will seamlessly connect the area to public transit and everything in Downtown Norfolk.

A neighborhood of shared histories

Long-time residents of Tidewater Gardens say generations of community pride won’t fade with the redevelopment of the community. The new Kindred – named for the sense of togetherness and close bonds – will reconnect those who return to the new community so that they can continue to share their history of Tidewater Gardens and what it meant to them, while making new connections with the faces of people who will also call Kindred home.
