As it continues upgrades to five subsidized housing properties in Richmond, a local construction company is marking the completion of similar work in Petersburg and nearing the end of another project there. Richmond-based Breeden Construction recently completed 50 new apartments that make up an initial redevelopment phase for Pecan Acres, a 134-unit public housing complex managed by the Petersburg Redevelopment and Housing Authority.

The Breeden Company is included in Multi-Housing News's annual list of industry leaders-listed at #22.

Breeden Construction is proud to announce the completion of an addition to an early education and care school in Midlothian, Virginia, the Primrose School of Midlothian Village. The project was completed for the developer, M&B Property LLC; Breeden Construction served as the general contractor.

The City of Richmond has made its pick in its months-long search for a development team to guide its Diamond District redevelopment. The city announced Monday it is going with RVA Diamond Partners, led by D.C.-based Republic Properties Corp., Richmond-based developer Thalhimer Realty Partners (TRP) and Chicago-based investment bank Loop Capital. Breeden Construction will serve as part of the general contracting team - focusing on the multifamily portion of the project.

The Breeden Company, the nationally recognized Virginia Beach-based real estate development firm, announced today they have closed on a 15.64 acre multifamily tract in the Chesterfield County area of Richmond, Virginia. The land parcel, located at the intersection of Route 288 and Genito Road, is expected to begin development Spring 2023 and be completed Spring 2024.

Breeden Construction is proud to announce the completion of a revitalized affordable housing community in Petersburg, Virginia, Pecan Acres. The project was completed for the developer, Petersburg Redevelopment & Housing Authority (PRHA); Breeden Construction served as general contractor.

Breeden Construction, a nationally acclaimed multifamily builder, is pleased to announce they have been awarded the contract to serve as general contractor to continue developing community infrastructure and housing for Newport News Redevelopment and Housing Authority’s Marshall-Ridley Choice Neighborhood. The developers for the project are Pennrose and Newport News Redevelopment and Housing Authority.

The 18-acre property in Newport News’ Southeast Community was once an aging public housing complex named Ridley Place. It’s gone now — closed in 2020 and demolished earlier this year. The city’s housing authority and Pennrose, a development group, are leading the project’s development and Breeden Construction is the builder. Construction of this phase is expected to be completed in late 2024, according to the city.

To quote the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, “Women belong in all places where decisions are being made. … It shouldn’t be that women are the exception.” In Year Two of Virginia Business's Women in Leadership Awards, they received more than 300 nominations — exceeding last year’s nominations by more than 100 — making it even more difficult to choose our honorees from among a host of qualified executives. Ultimately, they selected 42 women leaders from large, midsize and small businesses and nonprofit organizations across Virginia to honor in 2022. Brenda Karp, VP of Business Development, is among this year's honorees.

Being one of the Chamber RVA's newest members, Brian Revere shared they are looking forward to exploring all of the upcoming programming, especially the leadership and diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.
