Hollymead Town Center
From Cvillepedia
Hollymead Town Center is a mixed-use development located about seven miles north of Charlottesville along Route 29 North. As of 2011, while it consists of a shopping center with standard big box store tenants, plans to include residential units have been approved.

Background
The developer, Wendell Wood, received approval for Hollymead Town Center from the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors in July of 2003[1]. Since then, other sections of the town center have been rezoned, each under different zoning categories.
At one point, the development was expected to have a 12-screen movie theater, but the plans were scrapped. Wood claims this is because the potential tenant, Great Escapes, did not like the traffic patterns within the development. [2]
Potential residential build-out
Hollymead Town Center Area A-2 has a total capacity of 1,227 units. Hollymead Town Center Area C has a total capacity of 120 dwelling units and 34 have been built. [3]
In early 2012, Wood told a reporter that Hollymead will not see its full residential build out before 2020. [2]
