Spotsylvania County:
“Another large development is in the works near Spotsylvania
County’s Interstate 95 exit in Massaponax. Spotsylvania-based W.J. Vakos and
Co. is proposing 830 apartments and up to 450,000 square feet of retail space
at its Southpoint II shopping center off U.S. 1. Currently, only commercial
space is allowed on the property.
The area has been a prime target for growth despite traffic
concerns. In the last year, the Spotsylvania Board of Supervisors has approved
almost 2,000 housing units—more than half of them apartments—near the Cosner’s
Corner shopping center, which is less than a mile south of Southpoint II. Vakos’
proposed 76-acre development, called Southpoint Landing, would have two
sections off Southpoint Parkway. The company is asking that the land be rezoned
from commercial to residential and mixed use.
One section would have a 280-unit apartment complex next to
the Ballantraye subdivision. The second section, on the other side of
Southpoint Parkway, would include an estimated 550 apartments and up to 450,000
square feet of retail space south of CarMax, according to Vakos. Some of the
apartments could be located above retail and office space.”
