For its newest subdivision, a local developer and home builder has some new models up its sleeve.
Richmond-based StyleCraft Homes is preparing to build 60 single-family homes on 57 acres in Chesterfield County. The development, called the Landing at Swift Creek, will be situated between Woolridge Road and the Swift Creek Reservoir.
The entire project, including acquisition of the land and total development, will cost $7 million. StyleCraft is the developer and the builder of the new neighborhood. It closed on the land in November of 2013 for $2.2 million. The project is being financed through a loan from First Capital Bank.
Mitchell Bode, StyleCraft’s director of land acquisition and development, said the company will unveil newly developed home designs for the project.

“We’ve had a lot of time to talk to our customers and figure out what that buyer segment really wants,” Bode said. “So we’ve done some prior development to come up with four new plans that focus on how these buyers live.”
The new plans vary from more traditional homes in several ways, Bode said. The most significant difference may be the lack of a formal living room. Where a living room would normally be, the plans are equipped with what the builder refers to as “flex space,” which allows owners to choose how they would like to use the area, ranging from home offices to private guest rooms.
The designs also feature screened porches that include fireplaces and hookups for televisions and grills.
The homes will start at about $500,000. They range between 2,700 and 5,000 square feet and sit on lots of about three-quarters of an acre each.
Work on the first model home, located at 15501 Hidden Falls Drive, is ongoing and should be finished in March. As of now, development on 11 lots has been largely completed, and another 24 lots are near done, Bode said.
The neighborhood will offer access to a community deck along the reservoir, and community amenities are likely to be completed by March. An entrance to the community, designed by H&G Landscape Architects, was just recently installed.
Bode said the Landing at Swift Creek as a whole will take three or four years to finish completely. StyleCraft is in the process of preselling homes within the neighborhood.
“This is an upper-end, premier neighborhood,” Bode said. “We feel there will be a lot of dual-income households moving into the neighborhood, professionals and executives. We can see move-down buyers, too, those who want to move into something more maintainable.”
Founded in 1999, StyleCraft currently has about 13 subdivisions throughout the Richmond area, including the Landing at Swift Creek.
Its current projects include construction at the Villas at Archer Springs that started this fall, and it is working on the final section of a Mechanicsville neighborhood called the Villas at Rose Hill.
