Magnolia Green, a large residential community in Chesterfield County, broke ground Tuesday on a new golf clubhouse and aquatic center. According to the developer, the project is expected to contribute more than $10.5 million to the county’s economy and create more than 300 temporary and permanent jobs.
Tuesday’s ceremony to commemorate the start of construction involved members of the project’s design teams, contractors, developer representatives and county officials. The projects are expected to be completed in summer 2017.
“Magnolia Green continues its phenomenal growth with the unveiling of our newest community amenities,” Tom Page, vice president of iStar, said in a statement. The New York-based real estate investment trust is Magnolia Green’s owner and developer.
