Jean Carlos Proposes 230-Unit Apartment and Mixed-Use Buildings in East End

Jean Carlos, representing Hispanos Unidos, submitted a special-use request for two buildings in East End. These proposals include a 161-unit apartment building and an 88-apartment mixed-use building. The two five-story buildings are on the Richmond City Council agenda, which is meeting on a special schedule due to the Indigenous Peoples’ Day holiday.

The proposed development would replace existing structures, including a former Animal Motel and a row of car garages, dealerships, and parts shops. The approval of these projects initiates a change in land use and density within East End.
