While most local development news has been focused recently on urban neighborhoods, there's lots going on in the suburbs as well.
As Sport & Health Clubs opens a 46,000 square foot state-of-the-art fitness center in the 100-acre Heritage Hunt mixed-use development with frontage on I-66 in Gainesville, VA, developer Buchanan Partners is planning a new grocery-anchored retail center at the corner of Heathcote Boulevard and Catharpin Road.
The 90,000 SF retail center will be located adjacent to Heathcote Commons, where Ryan Homes is building 315 3-level new garage townhomes. To date, 40 homes have been built and sold, while another 20 are under construction. The community, which will feature a swimming pool and clubhouse, is expected to be built out by 2014.
Buchanan Partners recently sold approximately 11,000 SF of Class A office condo space in the Heritage Hunt Professional Building to Professional Automotive Relocation Services, raising that building’s occupancy to 92 percent. The company says it has completed 11 office lease and sales transactions in Heritage Hunt since the beginning of the year.
Based on that success, Buchanan plans to break ground on a new 50,000 SF office building in 2012. The new building will be located on Heathcote Boulevard adjacent to the existing convenience retail center. The Heritage Hunt commercial development is approved for up to one million SF of office space. Over 200,000 SF of office space has been delivered to date.
The new Sport & Health two-story facility features a multi-purpose court, lap pool and spa, dedicated areas for strength training and cardio equipment, spin studio, group exercise room, a mind-body studio, juice bar, lounge and a Kidz Klub.
The new Sport & Health Club is located next door to the Minnieland child care center, a 12,000 SF facility serving 150 children from three weeks to 12 years old. Minnieland offers before- and after-school care, preschool and pre-kindergarten classes, infant and toddler care, and a Montessori program.
