RICHMOND, VA— In a strategic move to expand industrial capacity in Central Virginia, Lingerfelt and The Davis Companies (Davis) have announced the acquisition of 95 acres in Henrico County for the development of the 7 Hills Distribution Center, a large-scale Class A warehouse and logistics hub.
Situated just south of Richmond International Airport, the fully entitled site will accommodate approximately 820,800 square feet of industrial space across four buildings, designed to meet rising demand for high-quality distribution facilities in the region.
Phase I, set to break ground in late summer 2025, will include major infrastructure improvements—most notably, the extension of 7 Hills Boulevard through the site—and the speculative development of Building 1, a 267,840-square-foot facility expected to be delivered by 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.”
Buildings 2, 3, and 4 will follow in subsequent phases and will offer build-to-suit or pre-lease opportunities, depending on tenant demand and leasing activity.
This venture builds on the recent success of Carmel Church Business Center, a previous Lingerfelt-Davis partnership that delivered 325,500 square feet of Class A industrial space in Caroline County along I-95.
“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.
The 7 Hills Distribution Center is poised to become a major logistics asset in the Greater Richmond area, supporting regional growth and meeting the evolving needs of e-commerce, manufacturing, and third-party logistics users.
