Church Hill North Neighborhood Revitalization

The transformation of the East End of Richmond, Virginia is sparked by the revitalization of Creighton Court, a 500+ unit public housing project at Nine Mile Road and Interstate 64. By utilizing a derelict, City-controlled, 20-acre site across the street from Creighton Court to initiate the first phases of the revitalization, displacement and multiple relocations are minimized at Creighton proper. 

Approximately 300 homes in a mix of bungalow, duplex, townhouse, stacked flats and elevator served apartments provide a range of housing types on the transformed site that both honors the site’s history and sets the stage for continued neighborhood growth and prosperity. Formal and informal parks, a small Neighborhood Center, regular blocks, and pleasant, walkable streets provide the framework for a vibrant new neighborhood that serves a mix of income ranges from very low income to market rate, including both rental and homeownership and senior living opportunities.
