In selecting locations for their new corporate offices, an area homebuilder and a local staffing firm both ended up taking a less-traditional route: converting decades-old retail spaces into their respective headquarters.
Eagle Construction of VA, previously based at West Broad Village, has opened a new HQ in the Canterbury Shopping Center at Patterson Avenue and Pump Road, where it’s relocated its offices and home design gallery.
Across the river, a retail strip in front of the Chalkley Place shopping center at Iron Bridge and Chalkley roads is now the home base of Elite Force Staffing, which moved from a location on Chester Road after completing a $1.1 million overhaul of its new space.
