late 1990. May would, in turn, take over Thalhimers that same year and eventually combine that chain with Hecht's as well. At both Regency Square and Lynnhaven Mall, Hecht's would operate two stores, one each in the former Miller & Rhoads and Thalhimers spaces. Hecht's eventually consolidated its Lynnhaven Mall stores into a single location, but at Regency Square, both stores were occupied by the chain until September 2006 when the Hecht's name was replaced with Macy's. Many of the remaining former Miller & Rhoads stores were converted to department stores like Montgomery Ward, Stone & Thomas and Value City or subdivided for other retail uses, while some were turned into offices and others demolished. In 2006, work began to convert the long shuttered Miller & Rhoads flagship store in downtown Richmond into a hotel and residential spaces. The old department store is now home to a 250-room full-line Hilton Hotel which is now the Richmond Hilton Downtown and 130 apartments or condominiums. The $100 million project is being overseen by Richmond's Broad Street Community Development Authority.
