RICHMOND, Va. — A Virginia Beach developer is trying to reel in a deal to transform a state agency’s former West Broad Street headquarters into hundreds of apartments and commercial space.

Kotarides Developers has filed a plan of development with the city to raze the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries buildings at 3900, 4000 and 4010 W. Broad St. In their place, the company would build new structures with plans for as many as 238 apartments and room for retail space.

DGIF, which relocated its headquarters to Villa Park III earlier this year, currently owns the West Broad Street property. It consists of three buildings on about 5 acres just east of the Henrico County line.
