The proposed Midlothian Depot development is planned to feature a 43,000-square-foot “specialty grocery anchor” as well as 30,000 square feet of commercial space and 350 apartments on 13 acres of “largely undeveloped” land, according to an SJC Ventures news release Friday.
The commission will weigh whether to recommend approval to the Board of Supervisors. Should supervisors OK the plan, the center would be planned to break ground in early 2023.
