Starting Walter Parks Architects in 1993, Walter has led the practice from its beginnings as a one-person office to one of the most prolific architectural firms in the City of Richmond. He is proud of the diverse range of projects, from small projects like World of Mirth and the Ellwood Thompson offices to the high-rises like Southfalls and the Square. Most of all, Walter is dedicated to the urban growth of the Arts district, where the WPA office has been for the last 20 years.

In collaboration with investment partners, established architects, local builders and city government, Tom Papa has recreated Richmond’s built environment over the last two decades. As a hands-on developer, he targets unique sites, which often require alternative design and zoning processes, adding value to the streetscape and skyline. His eye for selecting overlooked properties, his knowledge in utilizing tax credit financing, and his experience in building relationships with stakeholders have produced over 20 successful projects in historic neighborhoods and along the riverfront.
Before forming Fountainhead Real Estate Development, Tom earned a J.D. from Quinnipiac University School of Law and co-founded the law firm Chaplin, Papa & Gonet, acting as managing partner for more than two decades.
Today, Tom is an active proponent of the local creative community supporting Virginia Commonwealth University’s nationally ranked arts school with his Fountainhead Fellowship Program.
