Would You Support a Mixed-Use Development in Virginia-Highland?

The parking lot on N. Highland Avenue across the street from and is one of the few undeveloped multi-lot properties in Virginia-Highland.

Developers announced in 2006 a plan to build a mixed-use development on the property, but a decline in the real estate market put the project on hold.

Plans involved a four-story building that included retail and residential space, an outdoor food court and a parking deck with nearly 300 parking spaces.

The project went through several transformations after major pushback from the community including parking concerns and height of the building, among many other issues.

Today, the lot is used to ease parking issues in the retail district of the neighborhood and is the go-to spot for the weekly food truck event on Wednesdays.

What would you like to see the lot used for? Would you like to see Landau move forward with his project? Would you prefer the property remain as is? Share your opinion in the comments.
