ARB approves first phase of Albemarle Place

The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board yesterday approved "Block C" of the Albemarle Place development, a self-proclaimed "town center" to be built at the intersection of Route 29 and Hydraulic Road. As the Hook recently reported, the development will be about the size of two Downtown Malls, with a Main Street, a 14-screen theater, a 120-room hotel, a potential 10-story residential building, and a host of big-name retailers and restaurants. Yesterday’s ARB approval paved the way for the theater and a 5-story office building along Hydraulic Road.
