Waynesboro Place Development Crops Up Near I-64

City of Waynesboro
“For years, planners in Waynesboro have known that their growth zone was going to be outside of the old downtown and near Interstate 64. Now they're seeing that come to life with some up-and-coming construction projects.

A partnership between a construction company and a real estate firm will add a whole new dimension of economic opportunity to a quickly growing part of the city. Imagine a luxury apartment community topped off with a pool and walking trail, along with new shops on Windigrove Drive, and you get Waynesboro Place. The concept is a little unconventional for the city, but developers say they're tapping into an unmet market…

The vision is to reel in increasing demand from young professionals and empty-nesters for a higher-end pad. Yagel is supervising that project as part of the partnership between Charlottesville-based Pinnacle Construction and Triangle Realtors.”

Apartment complex coming up in Waynesboro

City of Waynesboro
“More than three years after the city approved an ambitious, mixed-use development plan for the West End, construction is set to begin on the first residential buildings for Waynesboro Place. The developer has built an extension to Windigrove Drive past The Home Depot that dead-ends on the construction site, which will host the first phase of the the project — a 243-unit apartment complex. Those rental buildings are slated to be the first of many to go up, said Greg Hitchin, Waynesboro’s director of economic development…

Waynesboro Place was approved in 2010 to include 38,500 square feet of office space to be built in the early part of the development. A later phase is to include 6,200 square feet in retail, restaurant and office uses, plus another 120,000 square feet to be designated for retail.

To get the plan approved over some objection from nearby residents, the builder agreed to road improvements expected to ease traffic congestion from the Interstate 64 interchange to Rosser Avenue. A connecting road to the adjacent, existing neighborhood has already been paved, though it’s not yet open to traffic.”
