The Virginia Home has broken ground on its new home.

The local nonprofit on Tuesday held a ceremonial groundbreaking for its planned $128 million facility for residents with disabilities to be built near the intersection of Pole Green and Bell Creek roads in Hanover County.

Formal c onstruction is now set to begin, with an expected completion in late 2027.

The new 196,000-square-foot complex will replace the Virginia Home’s current six-story Byrd Park home at 1101 Hampton St. in Richmond, where it has been located for nearly a century. That property is under contract to D.C.-based developer Audeo Partners, which plans to convert it into a 131-unit apartment building.

The new 160-bed Virginia Home will mean increased capacity for the nonprofit,
