Riverfront Plaza is twin-tower office building complex in the downtown area of Richmond, Virginia. Built from 1988 to 1990 on the former site of the Old Mansion Coffee Co., it was developed as a joint venture of the law firm Hunton & Williams (now Hunton Andrews Kurth), which still occupies most of the east tower; the Daniel Corporation; and Wheat, First Securities.

In 2015, Hines Interests Limited Partnership sold the complex, which it had owned since 2006, to California Hertz Investment Group. [3] [4] In August 2025, Wells Fargo initiated foreclosure proceedings in Richmond's circuit court on behalf of Hertz's lenders, arguing that Hertz had previously defaulted on a $146 million loan secured by the property and that additional defaults were imminent with the expiration of anchor tenant Truist's lease at the end of the month. The court granted Wells Fargo's motion to place the property under the receivership of JLL, in order to prepare for the anticipated sale of the complex. [5]
