The Hampton Roads Messenger 13
Authority work hard to make Virginia Beach an attractive place for new investment and business growth, and Town Center is the perfect example of the success that can be achieved when local government sets clear goals and makes sound fiscal decisions.”
The project must be approved by both the Virginia Beach City Council and Virginia Beach Development Authority. The Development Authority will consider the project at their October 16 meeting. If approved, construction would begin February 2013 with completion expected in the summer of 2014. Armada Hoffler also announced two business expansions associated with the project.
Hampton University College of Virginia Beach will expand its presence in Town Center by leasing an additional 25,000 square feet of space in Armada Hoffler’s existing 222 Central Park Avenue office tower. The growth will allow Hampton University to add 55 new course offerings and
increase student enrollment to 350.
