CHESAPEAKE, Va. — Rooflines are going up across Proximity Chesapeake, Cape Fear Development’s first Proximity community in Virginia. The mixed-use community at 900 N. Battlefield Boulevard is moving steadily toward its first apartment homes in spring 2027.
A new address in Hampton Roads
Set on 11.6 acres, Proximity Chesapeake will bring 215 apartment homes across four four-story buildings, along with approximately 20,000 square feet of office and commercial space. The commercial space is planned to complement the area’s healthcare uses, just up Battlefield Boulevard from Chesapeake Regional Medical Center’s main campus.
Progress you can see
The community is taking shape from every corner of the site. Roof framing is complete or underway on all four residential buildings, and the amenity clubhouse is under roof with interior drywall going up.
Looking ahead to 2027
The clubhouse is slated for completion in early 2027, with the first apartment homes and the commercial space following in the spring. The remaining buildings will deliver in phases through the summer, with the full community expected to be complete in August 2027.
Growing the Proximity brand
Proximity Chesapeake marks the Proximity brand’s arrival in Virginia. It joins Proximity Watermark, which opened on the Cape Fear River earlier this year, along with Proximity Carolina Beach and Proximity New Bern, while Proximity Marketplace is underway in Wilmington. True to the name, each community is built to keep residents close to where they work, shop and spend their time.
