Henrico County approves rezoning for major residential development

The Henrico County Board of Supervisors has approved a rezoning application for a 1,000-home residential community in the Glen Allen area.

HHHunt plans to build River Mill, a master-planned community in a natural setting with open spaces, walking trails and a park along the Chickahominy River.

“River Mill will continue to build on HHHunt’s success with other Henrico communities, including the nearby Townes at Woodman,” Kim Kacani, senior vice president of HHHunt Communities, said in a statement. “This land represents the largest remaining land opportunity to create a meaningful and cohesive development in concert with the natural features of the Chickahominy River.”

According to HHHunt, River Mill will offer a variety of home styles from single-family homes to townhomes. A luxury apartment community is planned as well. The development will ultimately include 1,035 homes.

Planned amenities include a clubhouse, pool, play area and parks. River Mill also will be close to Henrico’s future Greenwood Park.

Construction is expected to begin in 2017.

Other HHHunt’s residential communities in Henrico County include Wellesley, Wyndham and Twin Hickory.

HHHunt also has residential communities in North Carolina, South Carolina and Maryland.
