On September 17, 2025, the Board of Supervisors approved 405 homes on Old Hundred Road, and then told the developer it could build only a quarter of them until the county finishes a road. That condition, number 12 of nineteen, is the clearest illustration on the whole Midlothian slate of how proffered conditions actually work, and of how tightly housing and road capacity are tied together in this part of Chesterfield.
This post explains what Crossroads at Roseland is, how it shrank from 443 units to 405 after two deferrals at the Planning Commission, what the county secured in exchange for the rezoning, and why nothing much can happen on the site until the Woolridge Road extension opens in 2028.
At a glance
The case: 24SN1157 (Amended), Crossroads at Roseland Rezoning and Exceptions, 106.99 acres in the Clover Hill District, approved for a maximum of 405 dwelling units.
The plan: 237 townhomes and 168 stacked condominiums, with a pool and clubhouse, a dog park, a woodland park and a shared-use path easement conveyed to the county.
The vote: the Board of Supervisors approved it 5 to 0 on September 17, 2025, on Supervisor Jessica Schneider's motion, seconded by Supervisor Carroll. One resident spoke, on on-street parking.
The catch: no more than 100 building permits may be issued until the Woolridge Road Extension is complete. The county awarded that construction contract five weeks later and expects the road to open in 2028.
The applicant: TC Development, a Midlothian-based company led by John Costello, represented by attorney Jeff Geiger of Hirschler.
The land, and who assembled it
The site is five parcels on Old Hundred Road, directly in the path of the county's planned Woolridge Road extension. TC Development bought 2041 Old Hundred Road from the Sowers family's G.B.S. Holding for $1.6 million in September 2024, then bought 1911, 1921, 2001 and 2131 Old Hundred Road for $6.3 million in December 2024. The county's assessment of all five together was $6.7 million. An earlier buyer, Crossroads Development Partners of Henrico, had picked up four parcels in 2018 and 2022 for $1.4 million and $700,000.
TC Development's other local project is Dogwood Creek, 293 homes off Genito Road.
One name, two very different projects
The name invites confusion with the original Roseland, a 1,300-acre, 5,000-plus-home development approved 4 to 1 in August 2008 and then stalled by the downturn. They are not the same thing. Crossroads at Roseland is a 107-acre case filed in 2024 that borrows the place name; the 2008 approval is a separate piece of county history.
From 443 units to 405
May 20, 2025: the Planning Commission defers the case to June 17 at Clover Hill Commissioner Elizabeth Hardin's request. The plan as filed carries 443 units, 275 townhomes and 168 stacked condominiums.
June 17, 2025: deferred again, to August.
August 19, 2025: the Planning Commission recommends approval. The staff report now shows 405 units, 237 townhomes and 168 condominiums. The county received two written comments, one asking for a sidewalk connection toward Old Hundred Elementary and one opposed.
September 17, 2025: the Board of Supervisors approves the amended case 5 to 0, at the same meeting it adopted the countywide zoning ordinance rewrite. The county's case file shows no written comments submitted on the case itself.
What the county got in exchange
Nineteen proffered conditions came with the approval. The ones with money or timing attached:
Condition | What it requires |
|---|---|
Road cash proffer | $3,921 per townhouse and $3,639 per multifamily unit toward road improvements |
Transportation contribution | $2,440 per unit toward the county's Tomahawk Creek crossing for the planned east-west arterial known as Roseland Avenue |
Utilities | $3,133 per equivalent residential unit |
Building permit cap | No more than 100 permits until the Woolridge Road Extension is complete |
Road construction | Turn lanes on Woolridge Road Extended and Old Hundred Road, a right-in and right-out western access, roughly 800 feet of widening and overlay, and sidewalk |
Right of way | 45 feet dedicated to the county |
Amenities | Pool and clubhouse by the 250th building permit, a dog park, a woodland park, and a 30-foot shared-use path easement conveyed to the county |
Parking and streets | At least 34 guest spaces; 32-foot townhouse streets with sidewalks on both sides |
At the approved mix of 237 townhomes and 168 condominiums, the road cash proffer works out to roughly $1.54 million and the transportation contribution to roughly $988,000. Figures of $1.6 million and $1 million were reported while the plan still showed 443 units. There are no school-specific conditions in the case.
Condition 12, in full
The text is short enough to quote: "There shall be no more than 100 dwelling units issued building permits on the Property until the 'Woolridge Road Extension (Route 288 - Old Hundred Road)' project has been completed by the Transportation Department."
This is a phasing condition rather than a denial: the county approved the full density and then tied three quarters of it to a road. The condition is written against completion of the project by the Transportation Department, which means the schedule of this subdivision now follows the county's construction schedule.
The road it waits on
On October 22, 2025, the Board of Supervisors awarded the Woolridge Road extension contract to Wagman Heavy Civil for $41,992,000, alongside a $2.2 million local appropriation. The winning bid came in above the $39.1 million estimate, out of three bids received. Total project cost is $54.3 million, roughly 70 percent of it from the Central Virginia Transportation Authority. Construction was set to begin December 1, 2025, with completion expected at the end of July 2028 and an early-finish bonus in the contract.
What gets built is 1.25 miles of four-lane divided road from Route 288 to Old Hundred Road, with a signal at the Route 288 ramps, a roundabout at Old Hundred Road, and a shared-use path and sidewalk. We covered the road itself in more detail in a separate post.
What to watch
The subdivision plats. Two cases are pending in the county's system: 25PP1304, Roseland Crossroads, covering the full 106.99 acres, and 26CP2156, Roseland Crossroads Section 1, covering 92.54 acres. Neither had been approved as of September 2026.
A builder. No homebuilder, price range or sales launch has been announced.
The road schedule. July 2028 is the contract date, and Condition 12 is written against completion of the project by the Transportation Department. An early finish moves the whole project forward; a delay holds it at 100 homes.
The adjacent school question. The Otterdale Road site the county has considered for a replacement Midlothian Middle School sits in the same corridor. We track that in Where Do You Put a Middle School?

The proffered conditions and the vote are taken from the Board of Supervisors minutes for September 17, 2025 and the county's public notice for the case; the parcel purchases and the plan as filed are from Richmond BizSense and county land records. No news outlet reported the reduction from 443 units to 405; that comes from the August 2025 staff report.
The Midlothian Business Alliance's community affairs contributors include volunteers who serve in county appointed positions, including on the Chesterfield County Planning Commission, which heard this case. This post reports the public record and takes no position.
