Exciting changes are on the horizon for Glen Allen, Virginia, as Miller & Smith Companies unveils its latest residential project—Sadler Square. Spanning 33 acres in the heart of the vibrant Short Pump area, this development marks the company’s inaugural home-building effort in this region of Henrico County.
Once completed, Sadler Square will offer 128 thoughtfully designed single-family homes, each equipped with front-load garages and approximately 3,200 square feet of living space. Sadler Square officially opened for sales on April 25, 2025, with an exclusive VIP launch that offered personalized appointments, model tours, and dedicated time to explore the community in depth. Thanks to this thoughtful rollout, 10 homes were sold directly from the VIP list. Now open to the public, Sadler Square continues to generate strong interest. Construction is well underway on the Arden and Everly models, both slated to open for tours this fall—offering even more ways to experience the style and innovation Miller & Smith brings to Richmond.
Why Glen Allen?
Glen Allen—and more specifically the Short Pump area—continues to be one of Henrico County’s most in-demand markets. Its appeal lies in a strategic location just minutes from downtown Richmond, offering both the charm of suburban living and the convenience of a nearby urban center.
Beyond its residential appeal, Short Pump is known for a rich history dating back to the mid-1800s. Originally established at the crossroads of Three Chopt Road, the Richmond Turnpike, and Pouncey Tract Road, the area gets its name from a short-handled water pump that once stood beneath the porch of a historic inn built by Revolutionary War veteran Robert Hyde Saunders.
Today, Short Pump is better known for its dynamic mix of retail, dining, and recreational offerings. Anchored by the Short Pump Town Center, a spacious open-air shopping plaza, the area also boasts a variety of restaurants, entertainment options like a skating rink and bowling alley, and strong community amenities.
A Promising Future
With Sadler Square, Miller & Smith brings its legacy of quality craftsmanship and community-focused design to Glen Allen. This development is expected to attract families, professionals, and anyone seeking spacious, modern homes in a thriving area.
