New Willow Lawn Area Development

Remember the cool, retro style motel in the movie FORCES OF NATURE starring Ben Affleck and Sandra Bulluck.  That was none other than the old Executive Motor Inn on Broad Street near Willow Lawn.  Today the old hotel/motel is closed, fenced in and looking ready for demolition.  The Henrico County Planning Commission recommended approval to demolish the structure to pave the way for a mixed use of residential, office and retail space.

As development moves farther and farther west on Broad Street to Short Pump and beyond it’s great to see revitalization “back east” on Broad.  The Willow Lawn area was certainly a Short Pump type area in the 60′s and 70′s and today it remains a vibrant and prime location.  A block over in the 5200 block of Monument Ave, a new luxury condo/townhome development called Monument Square is being built where just a few years ago stood old, blighted apartments.
