Aaron Brooks

Since I live in Virginia Beach, I heard he was into this. Thought I would pass it on.....

In his retirement from pro-football, Brooks announced plans to be a land developer.

In the summer of 2008, work began on his first project to be underway, Burlington Woods, an upscale subdivision located on 17 acres in James City County, Virginia. Burlington Woods will consist of 26 lots that will be of one-quarter to one-third of an acre. The four to five bedroom homes are expected to be from 2,000 to 4,500 square feet in size. Brooks said he will oversee the project through its completion, but Ryan Homes will take over the construction phase once the individual lots are prepped.

Earlier in 2008, he announced plans to invest in Southeast Commerce Center, a redevelopment project his hometown of Newport News. In a story published in the New Orleans Times-Picayune newspaper in July 2008, he said there are plans in store for him and some partners to redevelop part of downtown Newport News, a city that shares many of the same social problems that plague New Orleans. The multimillion-dollar investment will be a mixed-use development between Jefferson and Terminal avenues and 33rd and 29th streets in the economically depressed East End area. The project is planned to be a mixed-use residential community with 190 town houses, a grocery store and retail offerings. Vice Mayor Charles Allen, who has represented the district for 16 years on the Newport News City Council, stated to the Newport News Daily Press that it was "significant that one of our own has taken his resources and other resources to show us that we can do it. It's a good day. It's a good day for our community."



Brooks commented to the Daily Press: "It's a great opportunity to give back to the community and at the same time let retailers know we don't just have the stigma of being 'bad news,' ... a lot of hard-working, middle-class people that live in the area. I'm just trying to make the area better for them."[
