A new development called Emerson Mill is planned with an entrance on Greenwood Road. Images via Henrico County records.
As construction continues on a comparable project next door, a developer is slated to add more single-family homes to the northern end of Henrico County.
A 50-home subdivision called Emerson Mill is planned for two parcels totaling 55 acres on the west side of Greenwood Road, just south of Henrico’s border with Hanover County and north of Interstate 295.
Henrico supervisors approved a rezoning request for the land in June. G. Brian Duke of Duke Development requested the rezoning through Greenwood Road LLC, which purchased the tracts in March for $2.36 million, according to county records.
Duke said the development will be similar to Swanson Mill Run, a 65-acre Ryan Homes neighborhood immediately west of the Emerson Mill site.
Plans call for up to 50 homes on about three-quarters of an acre each.
“I think it will be a similar product in that it’s upscale and will have a nice irrigated entrance,” Duke said. “It’ll be an upscale neighborhood with lots of landscaping and large lots.”
Duke said Emerson Mill will consist of single-family homes of no less than 3,000 square feet of space, on lots averaging just more than three-quarters of an acre. The county’s approval requires brick or stone siding on the front sides of at least half of the homes, and each must have a two-car garage that loads on the rear or side of the house.
The development will have a sign at its entrance, which will be off Greenwood Road, not Appling Road as previously proposed. The developer changed that access in response to concerns expressed at a community meeting, and the rezoning restricts Emerson Mill to just one point of access.
Duke declined to discuss the overall development costs beyond the land purchase. He likewise refrained from putting a price range on the homes.
He said he expects to submit construction plans to the county by next spring.

Its good to see the Dukes up and running again, having survived the recession. They are another longtime Richmond builder family that has a positive track record of success in the area.
Good job George and Brian!!!
