If you bought in Wynwood or The Estates, you probably remember the phrase from the sales office: Village Center, coming soon. It's been on the FoxCreek community site for years, listed right alongside the Terrace Swim and Racquet Club and the splash pad as one of the amenities that made the neighborhood worth the price. The pool got built. The tennis courts got built. The Village Center did not.
Along Hull Street Road, retail development is moving forward at Cosby Village Square, outside Fox Creek, on a separate timeline from the Village Center.
The Promise on the Site Plan
Fox Creek delivered on the amenities that required building inside a residential footprint. The Terrace Swim and Racquet Club gives Wynwood and The Estates residents an indoor and outdoor pool along with three all-weather tennis courts, and membership comes automatically with a home purchase there. Greenwich Walk, the 55-plus section of the community, got its own fitness center and a pair of lighted-fountain ponds. Builders like Eagle Construction and Ryan Homes filled in The Estates with larger lots and higher-end finishes.
The Village Center remains unbuilt despite appearing on the community's own materials as "coming soon" for years. Unlike the completed amenities, it has had no announced groundbreaking, leasing, or builder.
Down Hull Street, a Different Clock
The retail that Fox Creek residents actually drive to sits just up the road at Cosby Village Square, a 68-acre mixed-use project from Main Street Homes near the intersection of Otterdale Road and Hull Street Road. Publix is now open there. Kline's Dairy Bar, Starbucks, and Chipotle already anchor the square, and the project has entitlements for up to 122,560 square feet of additional office, retail, and restaurant space.
Nearby, a separate project, Cosby Corner, is also moving forward.
New Retail at Cosby Corner
According to Richmond BizSense, Chesterfield's Board of Supervisors approved rezoning in January 2026 for a 4.3-acre parcel at 15516 Hull Street Road, at the corner of Hull Street and Fox Club Parkway, the same road Cosby High School sits on. Maryland-based Lion Gate Ventures is developing the site as Cosby Corner, two buildings totaling 23,500 square feet sitting directly adjacent to Cosby Village Square.
Daycare chain Lightbridge Academy has already leased space in the building at Hull Street and Fox Club Parkway. In a Richmond BizSense report, broker Bo Galles of KLNB, who is handling leasing for the project, described the mix still to come:
"You're going to see a mix of full-service restaurants and daily services."
That mix includes an unnamed full-service restaurant and a national cafe and bakery chain, with roughly 5,000 square feet still being marketed to a medical tenant. Construction was penciled in to start this past summer, with the buildings slated to open in early 2027. If that held, ground should already be broken on the site as of this fall.
Here's how the corridor breaks down right now, along the same run of Hull Street Road as Fox Creek's own gates:
| Location | Status as of September 2026 | What's there or coming |
|---|---|---|
| Cosby Village Square | Open | Publix, Kline's Dairy Bar, Starbucks, Chipotle |
| Cosby Village Square medical building | Targeted a spring or summer 2026 opening, a window that has now passed | Richmond Aesthetic Surgery and Dermlounge, anchoring 7,000 of 33,000 square feet |
| Cosby Corner | Zoning approved January 2026, construction expected to begin summer 2026 | Lightbridge Academy daycare, a full-service restaurant, a national cafe and bakery |
| Fox Creek Village Center | No construction start announced | Retail and restaurant space, unbuilt |
How Development Is Taking Shape Along Hull Street
The difference between the projects is their location and land use. Fox Creek's amenity package was built by the community's own builders on land already platted for residential use. The Village Center appears on community materials, without a corresponding retail parcel or active contract identified.
Cosby Village Square and Cosby Corner are located on parcels controlled by developers. Magnolia Green alone accounts for more than 4,000 platted units, and Hampton Park adds roughly 750 more; both are within a few miles of this stretch of Hull Street. These nearby communities form part of the corridor's residential context.
Healthcare investment is also underway in the corridor. Richmond Aesthetic Surgery, a Short Pump plastic surgery practice, began construction on a 33,000-square-foot medical office at Cosby Village Square with a spring or summer 2026 opening in view, according to founder Dr. Neil Zemmel, who has compared the corridor's current stage of growth to what Short Pump looked like a decade before it became fully built out. HCA Virginia has also been pursuing a Certificate of Public Need for a $260 million acute-care hospital near the Hull Street and Otterdale intersection, a project that would bring hospital-level care to this corridor for the first time.
These projects are proceeding independently of whether Fox Creek's own Village Center is built. Hull Street traffic and nearby rooftops are part of the area's context, including Fox Creek.
What This Means for a Fall Grocery Run
For a resident planning out the next few months, the practical version looks like this. The Publix at Cosby Village Square is open now, which means the closest full grocery run doesn't require crossing 288 or heading further up Hull Street. Kline's Dairy Bar, Starbucks, and Chipotle are already there for anyone wanting a quick option without getting in the car for long.
The daycare option at Cosby Corner, through Lightbridge Academy, is the next piece likely to open, tied to the broader construction timeline for that project. The sit-down restaurant and the national bakery chain at Cosby Corner are further out, realistically not before late 2026 or early 2027 based on the construction schedule reported when the project was approved. The medical building anchored by Richmond Aesthetic Surgery was targeting a spring or summer 2026 opening, and that window has now passed, so it's a good bet that door is open or close to it if a nearby dermatology or aesthetic option matters to your plans.
Fox Creek's Village Center remains unbuilt, with no announced builder or construction timeline. Retail options are available at Cosby Village Square, and additional space is planned at Cosby Corner. These projects are outside Fox Creek, rather than within its Village Center.
