Harris Street Project planned to start in spring 2026
Alongside plans to bring new housing options to the town, the Harris Street redevelopment will also include outdoor green spaces for community gatherings and businesses, and it will emphasize walkability with pedestrian walkways connecting the property to north Locust and west Main streets.
The Harris Street Redevelopment Project, which is still in its preliminary stages of planning, is a collaborative effort between the Town of Floyd, Edgell Properties, Baker Land and Properties, and Allboard Properties to create a multi-use space on previously Town-owned property on Harris Street.
The Town of Floyd sold 115, 121, and 127 Harris Street, as well as 120 W. Main St. (The Greenman Inn property), to Edgell, Baker, and Allboard in May for $520,000 (plus carried interest) for the companies to redevelop for residential and commercial use.

Shane Edgell, who is the manager of Edgell BIM (Building Integrated Modeling), said this week that the newly renovated property will offer three to six new housing units. “The variation is dependent on various factors. But we hope to provide Floyd families with as many new housing units as we can,” he said, adding that construction is expected to begin in spring 2026 and last about two years. “... A lot can change between now and spring 2028,” he said.
Edgell BIM has been a part of several projects across the country, including modeling and coordinating the construction of residence halls on Virginia Tech’s campus in Blacksburg, the Virginia Department of Forensic Science Lab in Roanoke, and The Bristol in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Alongside plans to bring new housing options to the town, the Harris Street redevelopment will also include outdoor green spaces for community gatherings and businesses (restaurants, retail, etc.), and it will emphasize walkability with pedestrian walkways connecting the property to north Locust and west Main streets, Edgell noted.

Edgell said he and all of his partners in the project “take great pride in helping Floyd continue to prosper” as they are each a part of the community. Edgell said that most of the involved individuals grew up in Floyd and some are a part of “multi-generational Floyd families.”
“The partnership consists of Floyd High School graduates, all members currently have/had children in the Floyd County school system, all members own/operate businesses in Floyd, and all members employ Floyd citizens,” Edgell noted. ‘We are all deeply ingrained and active in the Floyd community.”
