Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. (NYSE: AHH) announced today that Williams Sonoma and Pottery Barn would occupy 18,000 square feet of the Company’s sixth phase of development in the Town Center of Virginia Beach, Virginia.

“We look forward to increasing our presence in Virginia Beach in the spring of 2018,” said Bud Cope, Executive Vice-President of Real Estate and Development of Williams-Sonoma, Inc. “Our West Elm store has been serving customers in Town Center since 2014 and we feel those who enjoy the quality of our products will be pleased to have the opportunity to visit both our Williams Sonoma and Pottery Barn stores while shopping in one of the prime destinations in the region.”

The newest addition to Town Center is expected to include 39,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space and 131 apartment homes. In addition to the retail and residential components, Zeiders American Dream Theater will occupy a 17,000-square-foot, 300-seat performing arts theater on the second level, while the City of Virginia Beach will be providing public infrastructure to include an open-air public plaza and a pedestrian bridge connecting to the adjacent parking garage.

Construction began last fall, marking the start of a new chapter in the ongoing, public-private partnership between the City of Virginia Beach and Armada Hoffler Properties. The residential tower topped out last week and the entire project is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2018.

“We are very pleased with the progress of this new addition to Town Center and these exciting new tenants,” commented Louis S. Haddad, President & CEO of Armada Hoffler Properties. “Upon completion, the mixed-use development will offer additional shopping, dining, and entertainment options that will complement the current offering, while adding sought-after residential space in the city’s urban core.”

Pre-leasing efforts have already started for the residential component of the project. Future residents will benefit from an exclusive address in the heart of Town Center and a wide array of amenities. Premier Apartments will feature studio and one-bedroom apartment homes and a one-of-kind outdoor rooftop terrace connected to the tenth-floor club room.
