Regency mall apartments financing on Henrico agenda
Henrico supervisors meet Tuesday at 7 p.m. Full agenda here.
Business includes resolutions related to VHDA financing of a proposed 320-unit apartment complex at the western end of Regency mall facing Starling Drive. The financing would require the applicant to lease at least 20 percent of the units to persons earning 80 percent or less of the area median income.
The resolutions relate to a project proposed for the mall’s now-shuttered Sears department store space. Last month, developers The Rebkee Co. and Thalhimer Realty Partners filed plans for construction of a five-story, 270-unit apartment structure on that site. TRP’s Mark Slusher said the unit number has since been increased to 320.

Henrico supervisors will consider an interim agreement with Rebkee for the acquisition of approximately 24.5 acres at Virginia Center Commons for construction of a new sports and convocation center. The agreement, under The Public-Private Education Facilities and Infrastructure Act of 2002, would detail Rebkee’s proposal to convey the property to the county for $8.3 million.
Hearing scheduled on proposed Henrico land bank
Public hearing items at Tuesday’s meeting include an ordinance to designate Maggie Walker Community Land Trust as the county’s land bank entity. The ordinance was introduced at the board’s Oct. 22 meeting. The nonprofit already operates a land bank in the city for receiving properties in bulk and holding onto them until they are transferred to nonprofit developers.
