Virginia’s home officially acquired the land it needs to move from the city to Hanover County.
The non -profit organization recently paid $ 8.7 million for a 70 -acre site in East Hanover, where it will move its home Richmond for adults with disabled to a new construction facility worth $ 128 million.
Plans require a 160 bed residential facility in a one -storey building with an area of 190,000 square feet, which will rise near the intersection of the roads of green and Bell Creek. The project site is adjacent to stores attached to food lions in Bell Creek.
Gilbain is tapped as a general contractor. The architectural company Baskervill processes the design of the facility. The two -plot assembly has a total valued value of $ 1.6 million, and sellers in deals in late November were Shield Hanover Land Trust and Big Oak Development Co., according to online farming recordings.
The work of the site for the Hanover facility is expected to start in July, with the completed focus for the fall of 2027, said Executive Director Doug Vaughn.
While his moving plans were reported earlier, Virginia’s home on Thursday officially announced this move during an event at his current place, 1101 Hampton St. in the city. He plans to sell this property, where it has been founded for nearly a century to help financing this move.

The new facility is planned to have more beds and be larger than the current facility with an area of 120,000 square meters, which looks at Byrd Park.
Vaughn said the hunt continued for the buyer of the Richmond property, but added that Virginia’s home had talked to residential developers about the site.
“There’s an interest,” Vaughn said. “These are developers and they will probably be (property) into apartments more than likely, this is interest.”
The 2-acre property has a five- and six-storey building, which redirects Hampton Street and has an attached application to South Meadow Street.
The estimated value of the property is $ 18.2 million, the city records show online, and the land is zoned single-family residential (R-5).

Virginia’s home moves to Hanover to expand its operations and to provide a better day’s experience and larger rooms for their inhabitants who have conditions such as quadriplegia, brain injuries, cerebral paralysis and muscular dystrophy.
“Our new campus will cope with the key challenges of our current six-storey building, moving to a one-storey, more modern design that increases safety, accessibility and ease of movement for both residents, staff and visitors. Every resident of a resident will have a beautiful outdoor view, abundant natural light and a warm atmosphere of home life, “Vaughn says in his remarks during the event.
At the new place Virginia’s home plans to continue offering services for nurses and therapy to residents, as well as to introduce a daily program for 55 to 60 adults in the list of waiting facility for the housing department or which do not require full -time care S

Virginia’s home has been on Hampton Street since the early 30s. Although it has been expanding its facilities twice over the decades, it has exhausted space for more growth there and the old building does not have the capacity for more technology.
“Over the years, I have seen residents do incredible things such as adaptive golf, skiing, surfing and horseback riding, but we also want everyday life to be great, and that means more brighter, more light facility and infrastructure to support the most in the most. Up to this technology, “said Laura Stewart, chairman of the Virginia Board of Trustees. “It will be difficult to say goodbye to this building, but our new building is an opportunity to better serve our current residents and staff and to open our doors to more residents.”
Virginia’s home predicts that it will cost $ 128 million for the construction of a single -storey 190,000 square meter housing facility, scheduled in Hanover. (With the kind assistance at Virginia’s home)
While the more non -consistent plans of Virginia’s home are to have 160 beds in the Hanover facility, the site is expected to allow for more expanding its housing capacity.
Future expansion projects can bring different housing options, such as Multiphone Houses, which would offer a more independent contract for the living to residents, according to a news message.
Before the announcement of this week, Virginia’s home was working for its eventual move. The organization in October received regulatory approval from the state to move its current 130 beds. In Virginia, certain medical and healthcare facilities and equipment require approval through the public health certificate program of the State Health Department.
Vaughn said the organization would have to make a separate request to increase the number of bed in Hanover. The project will also need resonance by the Council of Supervisory Authorities in Hanover to pave the road to construction.
The organization also recently provided permission from Hanover to issue up to $ 70 million in industrial revenue bonds to help fund the project. Through the Agreement, the Economic Development Authority in Hanover will act as a conductor for the Virginia home to use the public bond market in exchange for a fee. Vaughn said that Virginia’s home had not yet sold the bonds.
The Virginia House first opened as a home with eight residence on the former Ross Street (now Governor Street) in 1894 and later moved to its current place from Bird Park. He has 260 employees and employees said it was not determined how much his workforce could be expanded as part of Hanover’s course.
