HENRICO CO., VA., October 25, 2018 –Henrico-based Gumenick Properties is pleased to announce Lumber Liquidators has signed a long-term lease for space in Libbie Mill - Midtown, solidifying plans to relocate its corporate headquarters from Toano, VA to Richmond.

region – there is strong interest in first-class office space in the midtown area,” said Skip Nash, vice-president, property management at Gumenick.

Growth is accelerating at Libbie Mill – Midtown, an 80-acre community that Gumenick is developing using the design principles of new, urban mixed-use neighborhoods. Recent and ongoing activity includes:

• Continued strong sales of townhomes and condominiums.

• The pre-leasing of apartments at Penstock Quarter, a 327-unit mixed-use apartment community.

• The pre-leasing of Harp’s Landing, a Class-A office building to be built next to Libbie Mill Library.

“The addition of Lumber Liquidators’ corporate headquarters and their staff will certainly add to the vibrancy of our community at Libbie Mill - Midtown,” added Nash.
