Mixed-Use Development at Spring Rock Green

The Chesterfield Economic Development Authority announced Collins Enterprises will develop the initial phase of the residential and commercial properties for the proposed mixed-use development on the site of Spring Rock Green on Midlothian Turnpike.
Collins will be responsible for developing 300 residential units, 27,000 square-feet of commercial space and a secure, enclosed parking facility during the first phase of the project. The total investment from Collins for this portion of the project is approximately $75 million.
