Jan 21 '18 April 13, 2024

After some delays, residential condos are open and selling at the 50-acre Commonwealth Green mixed-use development near Kiln Creek in York County.

The first three buildings with six condos are now complete, said John Olivieri, president of 4th Generation Home Builders in Virginia Beach.

Each building has two condos with a smaller one on the bottom and a larger one on top that connects with a downstairs garage, he said. The condos will range in size from 1,500 square feet to roughly 2,100 square feet. Eventually, the community will have 94 condos in 47 buildings within three to four years, Olivieri said.

Each building will look like one cohesive house and will have front and back porches, he said. Base prices start around $245,000 and $285,000, he said.

Mainstay is on Keener Way off Commonwealth Drive, which extends from Victory Boulevard past the Regal movie theater and to the Commonwealth at York apartments. The 384-unit apartment complex finished construction in 2016 and was the first phase of the Commonwealth Green development.

Keener Way will connect to a roadway that will connect Commonwealth Green with Route 17 within a couple years, development partner Tom Tucker said.

Construction has started on another phase of Commonwealth Green featuring mixed-use townhomes in five buildings with three units each fronting Commonwealth Drive, Tucker said. The townhomes will feature commercial space with a garage on the ground floor and a 1,500-square-foot home on the second floor, he said. The middle unit in each building also will have a loft area.

Eventually, Commonwealth Green will add a 20,000-square-foot, two-story commercial building next to the Staybridge Suites and a community meeting and event space across from the Commonwealth at York apartments, Tucker said. About 10 acres near the community building will be a recreational park area with wetlands, he said.
