Lingerfelt & Davis Close on 95 Acres Near Richmond International Airport for 7 Hills Distribution Center Project

RICHMOND, Va., May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lingerfelt and The Davis Companies (Davis) today announced the joint-venture acquisition of 95 acres of land in Henrico County, Virginia, for the development of 7 Hills Distribution Center. The site, located just south of Richmond International Airport, is fully entitled for the phased development of approximately 820,800 square feet of Class A warehouse and distribution space across four buildings.

Phase I of the project is expected to break ground in late summer 2025 and will include major site work, the extension of 7 Hills Boulevard through the property, and the speculative construction of Building 1, totaling 267,840 square feet. Delivery of Building 1 is anticipated for Fall 2026.

"This is an exciting milestone that reflects our ongoing strategy of developing high-quality industrial assets in key growth corridors," said Ryan Lingerfelt, Chief Executive & Investment Officer at Lingerfelt. "We're proud to partner with Davis on this project and look forward to delivering much-needed Class A industrial space to the market."

Construction of Buildings 2, 3, and 4 will commence upon completion of Phase I, and will offer flexibility for build-to-suit or pre-lease arrangements dependent on user leasing activity.

This joint venture comes on the heels of last year's successful delivery of Carmel Church Business Center, another Lingerfelt and Davis joint venture located north of Richmond, along I-95 in Caroline County, which brought 325,500 square feet of Class A warehouse space to the region.

"With proximity to the airport and key interstates, 7 Hills Distribution Center will provide the highly connected, top quality industrial space that companies need to scale operations in the Richmond region," said Kevin Wong, Vice President of Investments at Davis.
