There are currently 440 units and the 17 acre property is in close proximity to the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business and the School of Law.[2]

Redevelopment

The apartment complex was built in the late 1960's. The University hired the firm Perkins & Will to come up with a master plan.

"Given the strategic location, the University has developed a master plan for this parcel to explore the redevelopment potential of increased density, and address University needs for proximate graduate housing, comprehensive pedestrian and vehicular connectivity, and future programmatic growth of Centers," reads the executive summary. [1]

The plan would increase the number of units to 718 and would add 46,000 square feet of academic space and 69,500 square feet of commercial space. [3]
