HENRICO COUNTY, Va. — A local pharmacist and surgeon are donning development hats, buying into the construction of their future offices. Construction on a two-story, 22,000-square-foot building at Towne Center West in Short Pump should begin in August, where local pharmacist Chris Currin and plastic surgeon Neil Zemmel will open new offices. Currin and Zemmel purchased the land for the building along with local development firm Stanley Shield. The project is the second phase of a three-building plan at Towne Center West led by Stanley Shield.
Work has already started on the first and largest phase, a five-story 110,000-square-foot building. VCU Health System will take up the entire building once it opens in late 2015. Currin will take about 4,200 square feet on the second floor of the second building with his practice, Rx3 Compounding Pharmacy.
