The owners of Regency mall want to continue its transformation by adding residential and other non-retail uses to the property and opening up part of the mall to create outdoor plazas.

Owners The Rebkee Co. and Thalhimer Realty Partners have submitted a request to Henrico County to have the 36-acre property rezoned to an urban mixed-use district, which would allow residential, office, educational, cultural and other uses.

“We are going to open up [the mall] and create an outdoor plaza on the upper level,” said Mark H. Slusher, senior vice president of Thalhimer Realty Partners, the investment and development subsidiary of the Henrico-based commercial real estate firm Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer.

“Then we are going to create another lower level, right in front of Forever 21 an outdoor plaza there. That outdoor plaza would not only be part of the mall but it would be right at the front door of our apartments. You would walk right out of your apartment into that outdoor plaza,” Slusher said.

The mall property at North Parham and Quioccasin roads is currently zoned B-3, which allows for retail and commercial uses. Zoning changes go through a public hearing process.
