Sauer shopping center redevelopment project up for vote in Chesterfield
The Chesterfield Board of Supervisors is slated to vote Wednesday on a rezoning request filed by Sauer Properties to add apartments to a shopping center in Midlothian.
Sauer wants the board’s approval to add up to 350 apartments to the shopping center formerly called Stein Mart Festival. The center is near the intersection of Midlothian Turnpike and Robious Road.
The proposed apartments would spread across three new four-story buildings to be constructed at the center. Two buildings would be built on the site of existing retail spaces, while the third would be built on a position of the center’s existing parking lot.
Also included in the project proposal is new greenspace, pedestrian walkways and improvements to retail storefronts. The project is intended to revitalize the center, which anchor tenant Stein Mart departed in 2020, by transitioning it into a mixed-use development.
The full meeting agenda can be found here.

Also on tap for the board’s meeting Wednesday is a rezoning request for a project that would bring several hundred new apartments off Iron Bridge Road near the county government complex.
Supervisors are scheduled to vote on a proposal to build 344 apartments on a 58-acre site at 6805 Greenyard Road. The apartments would consist of three separate, four-story buildings.
The development, called Attain at Swift Creek, would feature one-, two- and three-bedroom units. The three-bedroom apartments would be limited to 12 percent of the total unit count, according to a staff report. The development would feature multiple pocket parks, a cornhole area, a dog park and a pool among other amenities.
The complex’s primary access would be from Court Yard Road, with another road access point from Greenyard Road. The development would be built behind the Kroger-anchored Ironbridge Marketplace.
