The complex’s 252 units will be a mix of one-, two- and three-bedrooms. Rents will run from about $900 to $1,300, Kilpatrick said.

Virginia Beach-based developer The Breeden Co. is under contract to buy the apartment land from Edge Development Partners and will also be in charge of apartment development. That deal is expected to close in mid-2015, Kilpatrick said.

The single-family development would cover about 32 acres stretching northwest toward the Powhite Parkway. The 125 homes will range from about 1,600 to 2,500 square feet with prices running from the low $200,000s to around $400,000.
