For the second time this fall, the retail giant has struck a land deal next to one of its Richmond-area stores.

The project is being pitched as an alternative to Shamin’s current plans to build a hotel across the street at the Stonebridge development.

A mystery bidder made the eight-figure offer for partially built Cartograf plant in Meadowville Technology Park, though a judge must first approve the sale as part of a legal dispute with a lender and contractor.

The 60-year-old Commonwealth Building in the 4600 block of West Broad Street would be replaced with a six-story building with 155 apartments and eight so-called “live-work” units.

The developers behind the transforming mall have struck a deal with Henrico’s EDA to buy the triangular-shaped lot at 1401 Eastridge Road, where they’re planning an additional mixed-use project.

The $17 million development marks new territory in Chesterfield for the Richmond-based nonprofit, whose other properties in the county are concentrated along the Route 1 corridor.

The Washington, D.C.-based firm, known for The Wharf development in its hometown, is planning a six-story, 367-unit apartment building at 3200 W. Moore St. 

The sale came a month after Midas secured approval from Richmond’s Commission of Architectural Review to rehab the building, which operated continuously as an auto repair garage for nearly a century.
