History
The site is the former home of Mooney Oldsmobile, a car dealership.
City Council officials agreed on September 17, 2007 to rezone the land from the West Main North to the Downtown Corridor zoning to allow for a nine-story building with 18,000 square feet of commercial space and 79 condominiums. This was for a project being undertaken by The Cathford Group. [1] [2]
When that project did not materialize, the property went under contract by a management group representing the Marriot hotel chain.[3] The BAR gave its final approval to that project at its meeting on November 20, 2012.
Before construction of the hotel began, there were several smaller businesses that operated at the site including Random Row Books, Cat Thrasher Photography and City Clay pottery studio.
New hotel
Utility relocation for the new Marriott Residence Inn got underway in October 2013.
Details
Plans for an eight-story Marriot Residence Inn were shown to Charlottesville's Board of Architectural Review in February 2012. The plans also include a 103-vehicle parking garage.[4] The project received partial approval by the BAR in June 2012. [5] [6]
