Mixed-use redevelopment Springline holds topping-off ceremony for first office
The transformation of Spring Rock Green shopping center took another step forward with a topping-off ceremony for its first office building.
Chesterfield officials last week celebrated the milestone moment in which the structure’s last steel beam was set into place at the five-story, 150,000-square-foot office building that’s under construction at the Springline at District 60 development.
Construction on the $50 million office building is anticipated to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2024, according to a news release.
The project is fully leased. Timmons Group will occupy half the building, which will serve as the engineering firm’s future headquarters. Chesterfield’s school division administrative offices and the office of the county’s economic development department fill out the rest of the building.
“Having the Timmons Group’s corporate headquarters at the Springline development is an important part of the overall development project’s success,” County Supervisor Mark Miller said in a prepared statement. “People are telling us they want high-quality places to live, work, and play in Chesterfield, and Springline will deliver on that vision.”
Hourigan is the project’s general contractor.
The upcoming office building is part of the first phase of construction at Springline, a mixed-use redevelopment of the Spring Rock Green shopping center near the Midlothian Turnpike and Chippenham Parkway interchange in Chesterfield.
A grocery store is also planned for the project. Springline is planned to ultimately include more than 1,000 apartments, 300,000 square feet of office space along with 125,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space. Also planned for Springline are more than 100 townhomes, a hotel and a police station.

The Richmond Planning Commission meets Monday at 1:30 p.m. Full agenda here.
Items on the consent agenda include a special-use request from an unnamed Maryland-based developer for a redevelopment of three office buildings at 4605-4627 W. Broad St. into a seven-story building with as many as 150 apartments and ground-floor commercial space.
Massachusetts-based Dakota Partners seeks a special-use permit for a 122-unit apartment development planned on 3.2 acres at Midlothian Turnpike and Old Warwick Road. Local investor Mark Telfian seeks a special-use permit for a pair of three-story duplexes planned for a vacant lot at 1505-1507 W. Cary St.
Also on the consent agenda is a special-use request from Keel Custom to build five townhomes at 220 N. 20th St. in Shockoe Bottom. The homes would fill a 0.1-acre site that’s surrounded by residential buildings, including the Terrace 202 apartments at 202 N. 20th St. and the 2001 East Apartments.
City Council appointment, charter changes on committee agenda
Richmond City Council’s Organizational Development Standing Committee meets Monday at 4 p.m.
Business on the agenda includes a resolution requesting that the Richmond delegation to the Virginia General Assembly introduce legislation to amend, repeal or add sections to the city’s charter. The request follows a report from the city’s charter review commission that recommended certain changes earlier this year.
Continued from previous meetings is a request for a feasibility study of potential locations for a planned National Slavery Museum, which would anchor the likewise in-the-works Shockoe Bottom Heritage Campus.
The committee will review an annual comprehensive financial report for fiscal year 2023 and receive a presentation from city staff on the city’s Equitable Affordable Housing Bond Program.
Staff also will introduce candidates for interim appointment to the Ninth District seat being vacated by Michael Jones due to his election to the House of Delegates. Applications for appointment were accepted Nov. 13-27. The committee will meet in closed session to consider the appointment, which would start Jan. 1 and serve through all of 2024.

New Kent supervisor Patricia Paige dies
New Kent Supervisor Patricia Paige, a booster of Interstate 64 expansion who was recently reelected to the Board of Supervisors, has died at 67.
Patricia Paige
Paige began her first term on the New Kent board in 2016, and had in November been reelected to a third term in office.
In addition to her service on the New Kent board, Paige was a member of the executive committee of regional planning organization PlanRVA, as well as a member of its transportation funding program the Central Virginia Transportation Authority.
In a statement last week, the CVTA called Paige a strong advocate for New Kent and the wider Richmond region, and a leading player in the ongoing lane-expansion project on I-64 from New Kent County to James City County.
“Her tenure was marked by a series of accomplishments that shaped the trajectory of our region, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape she so ardently worked to improve. In particular, her unwavering enthusiasm to advance the 29 mile I-64 Gap project served as a shining example of how she led our region to work together,” the statement read in part.
The 29-mile section of I-64 has been dubbed “the gap” because it is a bottleneck between two sections of the interstate with six or more lanes. The project is intended to decrease congestion in the area with additional travel lanes.
Gov. Glenn Youngkin and other officials broke ground on the $756 million project in November. The project is expected to be completed in spring 2028.
New Kent is seeking candidates to fill Paige’s seat as an interim representative for the county’s District 3. The interim supervisor is anticipated to be sworn into office before the end of the year. That person will serve a term that runs until Dec. 31, 2024, according to a county news release.
Interested candidates can apply here by 4:30 p.m. Dec. 15.
New Kent County announced Paige’s death on Nov. 28 in a Facebook post.
