The Rivanna Plaza is a proposed retail development in Albemarle County north of Charlottesville on U.S. Route 29, to be located in front of the Kegler's Bowling Alley between the Lowe's home improvement center and the Schewel's furniture store. The address is to be 2000 Seminole Trail.

The design features 32,100 square feet of commercial space[1]. The project had been stalled due to the lack of demand and other issues. The developer (Rivanna Plaza LLC) filed for bankruptcy in November 2010 in order to buy more time to secure a final tenant[2].

The ground breaking ceremony was held Tuesday, August 30, 2011. Tenants will include the Kiddie Academy, Dunkin' Donuts and Ragazzi's Italian Restaurant[3]


Development history


Proposed tenants

On May 5, 2009, Ecorp announced signed leases with Dunkin' Donuts, to include a drive-thru window, and The Learning Experience Childhood Development Center, an early education provider, for up to 200 pre-schoolers[5].

Ecorp reports on-going negotiations with tenants, with particular interest in businesses serving families using the AMF/Kegler's bowling entertainment center and enrolled in the Learning Experience, and is promoting the proximity to the growing National Ground Intelligence Center[5]. The project won't go to construction until a tenant is secured for a third building. Rivanna Plaza LLC is looking for a national chain restaurant to want to locate here[2].
