Westminster Canterbury plans to expand facility into former Azalea Mall site in Northside
At least 125 new independent living units are planned on the desolate parcel between Dumbarton and Brook Roads, plans show.
From the Henrico Citizen:
Relief may be coming soon for a longtime Northern Henrico eyesore.
Westminster Canterbury Richmond is proposing a 10-acre expansion of its retirement community between Dumbarton Road and Brook Road adjacent to I-95. The expansion would occur on a portion of the former site of the Azalea Mall, which has been vacant for several decades. Westminster Canterbury bought the 10-acre section of the site in 2018.
Plans call for the addition of 125 new independent living units – 93 of them coming from five new buildings on the new acreage and the rest as part of a multi-level addition to an existing building on the current site. WCR also is proposing to build a new multi-level parking deck and a new aquatic and athletic facility as part of the project. The community currently has 498 independent living units and a total of 820 units in all.
