Caldwell Park is the first development proposed under Hanover County’s multi-use land designation, which accommodates high-density commercial projects with other mixed-uses, such as residential development. Caldwell Park is a 120-acre mixed-use development that includes retail, office, multi-family, townhome, and single-family uses. This project provides much needed affordable housing for the workforce of Hanover County.
Caldwell Park is approved for 115 single-family lots, 131 townhomes and 286 apartments, along with 200,000 sq. ft. of commercial space. The apartments bolster the limited amount of rental housing options currently available to County residents. Amenities for the apartment units include a clubhouse, pool, business center, fitness center, coffee bar and attached garages. Both the townhomes, located behind the shopping center, and the single-family residential neighborhood include centrally located park areas. In addition, active recreational spaces are integrated into the entire community with more than six linear miles of paved pedestrian trails and sidewalks. As part of a new initiative to promote active communities through improved walking and biking infrastructure, Sports Backers’ Bike Walk RVA director has spoken publicly in favor of the project’s development. The organization has voiced its support for Caldwell Park’s trail and sidewalk network, citing its numerous benefits.
