I do believe that Chesapeake was open to the idea.

I remember this as well. Greenbrier was the suggested connecting point, although Western Branch/Chesapeake Square may have been suggested as well. Although, I seem to remember they wanted to get the ball rolling by next year (this was about 2015 when it was proposed). I wonder if the Summit Pointe and Amazon developments will make the city reconsider?

Does Chesapeake have a Green Line or any natural limit on its sprawl?

Not officially. They are pushing for denser development along Dominion (future I-87) to conserve agricultural land south of the bridges. There is also a study underway to find ways to encourage development on existing surface parking  rather than raw land. The biggest limit currently is utilities as water & sewer aren’t available in much of the rural parts of the city.

A bit off subject but I recall an article a couple of years ago that Dominion Blvd will be a “bigger and better“ Greenbrier in years to come.

All it needs is a light rail link!

The route that would make the most sense would be having a light rail bridge at Harbor Park, then run it through South Norfolk down Battlefield Blvd. to Volvo Pkwy. Though running it down 464 would also be a possible route, though I don't think that route would reach as many people as down Battlefield would.

Video update for the new parking garage.

A lot on the pandemic, but some good stuff about Summit Pointe too.

From what I've read, Chesapeake doesn't expect light rail in those parts until about 2022.

As far as tallest, I believe City Hall is about nine or 10 stories.

Hmm, about that...

Any word of additional tenants here? It seems they’ve done really well leasing up the apartments but the retail and office leasing seem to be sluggish. It does appear site work has started on the next block. 

So far First Watch and Wasserhund Brewing have been announced as retail tenants.

The climate for new office and retail demand will take awhile to recover.

Dollar Tree has quietly updated the renderings on the front page of their website. This second tower looks to be pushing 20 floors. Probably going to have to go back to council to get approval on that.

 

I'm counting 21.

This really looks like something you'd see in NOVA. I love it.

[urbanvb]

I rode by today. It’s amazing the progress they’re making.

Hopefully the eastern end of the site turns into a cluster of highrises.

They need more land.

If they moved their warehouse, that would be a ton of land to expand into. There is also the possibility of the Liberty Executive Office Park and Towne Place being incorporated into this development and be an urban extension for this development. Which if that would happen, that could make a type of downtown for Chesapeake with a decent little skyline and urban city footprint.

It looks like the Palladium Dr is basically just a service and garage entrance road.

Saw this ad on Facebook and did a double-take. This does not look like something in Chesapeake!

The Central Business District is the largest employment center in Coastal Virginia with 35,000 employees. Significant ongoing investment and economic growth is occurring in this core area that is surrounded by stable neighborhoods that support the vision of an urban mixed-use center. This contributes to rising and diverse incomes as well as growing support for community institutions: social, educational, business and military.

Luce opened this week and another restaurant was announced. 

“We are thrilled to announce that neat bird has leased 4,000 square feet at 565 Belaire Avenue. The restaurant is the next creative platform for Chef Eric Nelson of crudo nudo in Norfolk.”

Quick progress pic while waiting at the stop light. The exterior is almost finished & Mosaic (left side) will open in November with Vista following in early 2023. 

Preliminary Site Plan has also been filed for Block 4 (surface lot in front of the current construction). Plans are for a 130 room hotel, 124 apartments, and 21,000 SF of retail.

Y’all keep sleeping on Chesapeake ha, thx for the update 

[urbanlife]

Measuring this area, I just realized it is slightly smaller than the current Town Center in VB.  It's impressive how much has been built so far with this development. I wonder if there is plans to ever relocated the distribution center to open up all that land for redevelopment.
