==Background==
[[image:20150915-view-plaza-on-market-days.jpg|left|250px]] The project was one of four proposals submitted to the City of Charlottesville after City Council asked for private solutions for both a permanent home for the [[City Market]] and a redevelopment project to add to downtown building stock. Market Plaza will feature 68 residential units, 55,000 square feet of office space and 10,000 square feet of retail space.
 
The city market will operate in an open-air plaza for as many as two days a week in the south-west quadrant. The plaza will be rented by the city for those days and will be managed by the developer for the rest. The developer can hold its own events in the space, but for no more than half of the year. <ref>{{cite web|title=Council agrees to Market Plaza changes; hears first reading on public land sale|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/22196-market-plaza-changes/|author=|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=October 6, 2015|accessdate=October 12, 2015}}</ref>
 
==Construction updates==
The city of Charlottesville is working with the Plaza developers on a $2 million plus project to remove overhead lines and place them underground. Borings are underway for the Market Plaza project, but the overall utility plan hasn't yet been approved. They're hoping that utility relocation can be completed in order to get the overall construction project underway by April 2016. {{fact}}
