Chesterfield OKs more residential units at The Lake, Westchester Commons
Chesterfield County supervisors voted last week to allow more residential units at The Lake, an upcoming mixed-use development near Clover Hill High School.
Project developer Flatwater Cos. can add another 400 units to the development, which would also include a surf pool and 13-acre lake feature alongside retail, office and restaurant space.
The development would be built on 105 acres at 13400 Genito Road, and 2500, 2601 and 2991 Genito Place. The board’s approval of amendments to a previously OK’d rezoning application allows the surf pool’s construction as an alternative to a white-water course as well as the additional housing units and other changes.
The development will now include 830 apartments and 360 townhomes.
The board also gave the green light to a request by StyleCraft Homes to add 210 townhomes to Westchester Commons, a nearly 800-acre commercial development near Midlothian Turnpike and Route 288. The townhomes would be built on pad sites that total a little more than 13 acres near the development’s Gold’s Gym, Panera, Bank of America and Plaza Azteca.
