Do you prefer medical offices to be in standalone buildings or consolidated within large shopping centers?

Grove Eye Care has officially transitioned its operations to a new office space located within Regency mall. The move replaces the practice’s long-standing site on Grove Avenue in Richmond.

Why it matters

The relocation allows the medical practice to accommodate growing demand for eye care services by significantly expanding its physical capacity. This move consolidates the business within a modernized space to support long-term operational growth.

The practice invested more than $1.7 million into the 7,500-square-foot facility, which now features 12 exam rooms. The office currently supports a team of eight or nine doctors and approximately 30 additional staff members.

The players

Grove Eye Care

This medical practice provides optometry services and maintains offices in Richmond and Chesterfield County.

Cross Creek Builders

This organization served as the general contractor for the construction of the new Regency mall office.

TowneBank

This financial institution provided the loan used to finance the construction and equipment for the new office.

The details

Grove Eye Care repurposed a section of the mall previously used for restaurants to house its expanded facility. Cross Creek Builders acted as the general contractor for the project, which was financed via a TowneBank loan.

The practice operated from its Grove Avenue site since the early 1970s.
The new office at Regency mall opened in September 2026.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the office took place on September 29, 2026.

Market Landscape

This move reflects a broader commercial real estate trend where medical offices increasingly occupy former retail spaces in malls to leverage central locations. This transition positions Grove Eye Care to capture higher foot traffic while repurposing large-format square footage vacated by retailers.

Patients who previously visited the Grove Avenue office should now head to the new facility at Regency mall. The expansion intends to improve service availability and reduce wait times for appointments as the practice grows its medical team.

The takeaway

This relocation marks the end of a multi-decade tenure at the practice's original site to favor a facility designed for modern service volume. Patients should update their records to reflect the new location to ensure continued access to care.
