Residential Real Estate

Topping the list of the priciest area home sales in May were a trio of $3 million deals involving a retired tobacco executive and two supply chain tech execs.

The project would rise on 43 acres at the corner of Huguenot Springs Road and Midlothian Turnpike next to The Aire at Westchester, which will bring with it an additional 2,200 homes.

Now planned for up to 293 homes on 178 acres in the county’s Moseley area, the Dogwood Creek project is Board of Supervisors-bound after passing muster with the Planning Commission last week.

StyleCraft cut the ribbon on its expanded headquarters at 6225 Lakeside Ave., where it recently finished a 10,000-square-foot addition that triples the footprint of its original building.

The name change was announced earlier this month and comes a year after CraftMaster owner Jeff Tunstall parted ways with the company after 22 years.

Richmond Hill Design + Build has completed the first three homes that it’s fitting into what had been two larger residential lots in the 500 block of Westview Avenue.

A few blocks and $40,000 separated the top two deals in Richmond’s West End, while a pair of homes in Manakin-Sabot rounded out the top five with an even narrower margin.

The undeveloped site along Woodman Road adjoins River Mill proper and is just west of an 82-unit townhome section that was part of the original 2016 rezoning.

The Benton Woods site is among the largest undeveloped parcels within the county’s 580-acre Ridgedale Special Focus Area, in which the county hopes to see new commercial, residential and recreational revitalization.

The 144 apartments are to be targeted to renters making below 80 percent of the area median income, with 36 of the units for renters making 50 percent AMI or below.
