Commercial Properties
Although Brandermill is primarily thought of as a residential community, there are over 200 commercial properties located within the borders of Brandermill. While there are a few vacant residential properties, there is plenty of undeveloped commercially zoned land on which you can build.
The commercial areas of Brandermill tend to be near the periphery of the community, primarily on the North side of Hull Street Road (between VA-288 & Harbour View Ct), Market Square (near Hull Street Road entrance to Brandermill), Sunday Park (off Millridge Pkwy), Brandermill Trade Center, Waterford & Waterford Lakes (Genito Road & Charter Colony Pkwy) and Charter Colony Center (Charter Colony Pkwy & Old Hundred Road).
In addition to the above, there are currently two apartment complexes and three retirement/assisted living complexes located within the community.
Commercial Covenants at a Glance
Just like residential properties, commercial properties within Brandermill are required to maintain their property’s compliance with the Commercial Design Standards and the Declaration of Rights, Affirmative Obligations and Conditions (referred to as the covenants) as a way to present a positive image of the businesses and community as well as maintain or increase property values overall.
**All inquiries regarding the covenants should be addressed to our Compliance Manager at 804-744-1035, extension 3002 or email. Non-Compliance with all covenants results in violation notices. Review the violation process page for more information **

ARB Approval:
In general, if you plan on making any changes to your property (building or landscaping) that would be easily recognized as a change, you need to obtain written approval from the Architectural Review Committee prior to starting any work. Please review the Commercial Design Standards for requirements and limitations and complete the Commercial Project Application to submit to the ARB.
