Richmond’s icy weather didn’t stop representatives from NV Retail and Excel Trust, the principal developers of West Broad Marketplace in Henrico County, from officially breaking ground Wednesday on their 440,000-square-foot, multi-use project.
County officials joined their out-of-town guests during a brief ceremony to commemorate the official launch of the project. The site will be home to anchor tenants Cabela’s and Wegman’s.
Construction is expected to continue through 2016, with a projected opening of Cabela’s in April of 2016, followed closely by Wegman’s. The local general contractor, J.E. Liesfeld Contractor Inc. of Rockville, started site work in December.
The center is located on West Broad Street just west of Short Pump Town Center near the Goochland County line. Cabela’s, a retailer of outdoor gear, plans an 82,000-square-foot store, and Wegmans has said it will build a 140,000-square-foot store, along with another store in Midlothian.
NV Retail, based out of Vienna, and Excel, a real estate investment trust with a headquarters in San Diego, Calif., also plan retail shops, restaurants, office and medical space.
