We’ve talked about this before, but the RRHA has released more details on the plan — including the developer. From the RTD:

The housing authority has selected Crosland LLC of Charlotte, N.C., as the master developer for the planned revitalization of the Dove Street area generally bounded by the Richmond-Henrico Greenway to the south and west, the Green Park neighborhood to the north and First Avenue to the east.

Crosland, which is planning the redevelopment of the former Cloverleaf Mall property in Chesterfield County, will design, finance and construct the development. Construction is projected to begin in spring 2012.

The plan is for mixed use, keeping with the existing neighborhood’s style:

Preliminary plans include housing that will serve a range of family sizes and income levels, enhanced community amenities and open space. Additional phases would include a new elementary school.
Residential units would be compatible in scale, density and housing types with the adjacent Highland Park and Barton Heights neighborhoods.
The goal is to create at least 300 units of mixed-income housing and ensure that 30 percent of new housing will be available to public-housing residents.
