Development Updates

Infrastructure work at subdivision on New Market Road continues

We’re making good progress on our new 21-unit mixed-income subdivision on New Market Road, which we’re officially calling River East! This development will contain 14 CLT homes for qualified buyers in our program, as well as 7 market-rate homes for sale.

Four homes on East Ladies Mile Road break ground

We recently started construction on two pairs of attached homes on East Ladies Mile Road near Northside’s Brookland Park neighborhood. The land for this project came to us from the City of Richmond, who had designated it as surplus and transferred it to the land bank program. The plans came from a private contractor, Belle4316 LLC, who was awarded the property through the land bank. The foundation for the first pair of homes has been poured, and framing is underway.

First four Ettrick Landing homes under contract

After breaking ground all the way back in 2021, the first four homes in Ettrick Landing are under contract with qualified buyers through MWCLT. The transactions are scheduled to close this month. The fifth and sixth homes are preparing for final inspections. The seventh and eighth have been framed and now have roofs. The ninth has a foundation, and the tenth and final home is awaiting permits.

Staff members engage East End community at Armstrong Renaissance

Some of our staff members recently tabled at a health and homeownership resource fair in Armstrong Renaissance. The Armstrong Renaissance neighborhood is on the site of the old Armstrong High School, across Nine Mile Road from the old Creighton Court. This was an opportunity for residents of Armstrong Renaissance and community members to find out more about financial education and homeownership opportunities. Members of the homeownership team provided information about homeownership and also discussed the importance of housing as one of the social determinants of health.
