A stretch of Genito Road in Chesterfield’s Moseley area continues to draw interest from residential developers.
Plans were submitted with the county last month for Dogwood Creek, a development of up to 356 single-family homes on 178 acres on the south side of Genito Road near its intersection with Bailey Farm Road.
The wooded land is to the west of Horner Park and adjacent to Tuckmar Farm, a 93-acre subdivision where Main Street Homes is building 215 houses priced in the $600,000 range. The Midlothian-based builder bought that site for $4.7 million in 2021.
Also in the pipeline along Genito farther east is Lattice Hall, a 307-home development by Manakin-Sabot-based Boone Homes on 155 acres west of Otterdale Road.
Dogwood Creek is proposed by TC Development LLC, a 2-year-old company based in Midlothian. A representative for the company declined to comment on the project at this time.
Consisting of two parcels at 19000 Genito Road and 4000 Bailey Farm Road, the site is owned by 19000 Genito Road LLC, a Mechanicsville-based entity that acquired the parcels in 2014. The county has assessed the parcels at a combined $105,000.
A project description by county planning staff describes Dogwood Creek as “a single-family cluster lot housing community” with a variety of lot sizes. A conceptual site plan by Midlothian-based Balzer and Associates shows lots ranging from 50 to 90 feet wide, with common areas separating different sections. One section of the smaller lots would include private alleys for rear-loading access.
The plans include images of sample homes but do not specify sizes or price points.

The site would be accessed via two roads off Genito, and the plan shows internal connections with a road and trails in Tuckmar, as well as future connections with adjacent, undeveloped parcels. Public roads in the development would be lined with sidewalks and street trees.
The developer has proffered to widen Genito and add turn lanes at the entrances, and to add a shared-use path along Genito. Payments of cash proffers to offset impacts to public infrastructure and services would start after 102 of the homes are built, with $9,400 paid per home thereafter for a potential total of $2.38 million (for 254 homes).
In addition to the trails, amenities would include a clubhouse and pool and potentially a pavilion, pickleball courts, dog park, pocket parks, benches, community gardens and fire pits.
TC Development is seeking a rezoning from agricultural use to the county’s R-12 residential district with a conditional-use permit to allow the recreational facilities. It submitted its application Nov. 7, and planning staff reviewing it requested revisions Dec. 1. The case is not yet scheduled to go before the Planning Commission or the Board of Supervisors.
The project site is to the north of the so-called Upper Magnolia Green area, a 2,400-acre area controlled by Chesterfield County and planned for a variety of uses including a technology park, public facilities and up to 600 single-family homes.
