Residential Real Estate

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.

Don Balzer’s Cross Creek Development is planning Thacker’s View, which will bring more than 260 homes to an assemblage on Woolridge Road. It’s one of the last undeveloped areas of size on the reservoir.

Hanover supervisors recently approved the expansion of the 55-and-up residential development that developer Roger Glover said will be the so-called agri-community’s final section.

The sale came out to $614 per square foot, toward the top end of the highest prices per square foot ever recorded in the area.

Participants in Sunday’s Easter on Parade will notice the makings of what’s planned to be a two-year restoration of the mansion owned by CEO Den Cralle, who is sponsoring the event.

Site work has started on The Aire at Westchester, a 334-acre mixed-use development directly west of the shopping center, where two new restaurants are also headed.
