Now preleasing · 5059–5069 Forest Hill Avenue · Westover Hills, Richmond
A new three-story mixed-use building on the north side of Forest Hill Avenue, between Westover Hills Boulevard and Prince Arthur Road. Two retail spaces flank the residential lobby, each with full avenue frontage, storefront glazing, and a hood chase in place.
About the project
Westover Place carries the name of the original shopping center on this site, developed by the Plotkin family. The new building replaces it with ±7,800 square feet of street-level retail, 30 apartments on the two floors above, and 47 parking spaces on the avenue and in the rear lot.
The site is adjacent to Väsen Brewing's southside taproom, Riverside Tavern, and The Locker Room. Construction began in spring 2026 with the stair and elevator cores now complete and vertical construction under way. Storefronts are designed with a dedicated sign band along the avenue, a covered walkway from the rear parking, and 14-foot-plus clear ceilings behind the glass.
Westover Place is a joint venture between two experienced retail sponsors, Blackwood Development Company and Dumbarton Properties, with architecture by Walter Parks Architects and construction by KBS.
Retail leasing
