Belvedere is a neighborhood located in Albemarle County's Neighborhood 2 Designated growth area.
Stonehaus Development was the initial developer. The development was approved by the Board of Supervisors in October 2004, with plans for 775 housing units on 207 acres.[1]
As of September 28, 2011, 48 of the 775 units have been built. [2]
Project history
Ground was broken in May 2007; the development is promoted as a "sustainable community"[3] and is being developed to LEED neighborhood standards[4].
In October 2007 Stonehaus donated a portion of land in the neighborhood to SOCA for development of new soccer facilities, including four grass fields, an all-weather turf field and a fieldhouse with an indoor arena.[5]
In November 2008, Wachovia Bank notified the county that it would not renew six letters of credit for Belvedere Station Land Trust, record owner of the project. As a result, the county has received money under a performance bond, which may be used to complete infrastructure upgrades required by the project. [6]]
In February 2010, Stonehaus sold 16 acres of the project to Cathcart Properties, who plan to build a 294-unit apartment complex called The Reserve at Belvedere[7].
