Retail Opportunities in Colonial Heights Virginia

During the last twenty years, Colonial Heights Virginia has been evolving into the key retail center in south side, central Virginia.  Located just 20 miles south of Richmond, it is part of one of the fastest growing areas in the country.  Representing the last retail center between Richmond and the North Carolina border, Colonial Heights, as a location, offers great opportunity.

Considering that I-95 through Virginia is the most heavily traveled highway in America’s interstate system, this location offers many retailers prime accessibility. The City has promoted commercial development both in its Southpark (Mall) area, bordering I-95, and along U.S. Route 1 (The Boulevard).  Major retailers have taken advantage of the location the city provides.  We have expanded our infrastructure to meet growing demands since 2004.

Further enhancing the community is the U.S. Army’s expansion and relocation efforts (BRAC).  The process has already begun with the phased shifting of an additional 20,000 active military and 2000 civilian personnel to nearby Ft. Lee.  We believe, with our community’s growth anticipations, our market offers many profitable possibilities for the savvy retailer and developer who gets in on the action early on. This growing population, and its current working class workforce, also brings the retailer potential employees.
