A grocery-store anchored retail development may not take root where empty warehouse buildings sit off Semmes Avenue near Cowardin Avenue in South Richmond.
Instead, the developer of Manchester Town Center LLC, a limited liability company managed by Henrico County-based Harper Associates, is looking to place owner-occupied town houses there as well as some retail along Semmes Avenue.
“My client acquired the property to develop it as a grocery-anchor retail center,” said T. Preston Lloyd Jr., an attorney with Williams Mullen who is representing Manchester Town Center. Harper Associates has acquired, developed, constructed and managed retail shopping centers including Chippenham Forest Square off Chippenham Parkway and Forest Hill Avenue and the Kroger Center at North Lombardy and West Broad streets.
