A new multifamily development dubbed The Ridge at North Pointe has recently broken ground in Charlottesville, Virginia. GW Real Estate Partners formed a joint venture partnership with Virtus Real Estate to build the housing project. Additionally, the developers also secured an undisclosed amount of construction financing from United Bank to commence construction.
The Ridge at North Pointe will be the second ground up multifamily development for GW Real Estate in Virginia. According to a principal at GW Real Estate, Robert Gordon, the location for the project is quite ideal. Especially since the presence of the University of Virginia is consistently generating strong demand for housing in the region. Gordon also said he expects the new community to perform well, with the limited supply of new apartments at the location.

Therefore, its location provides access to several nearby infrastructure including The North Fork Research Park of the University of Virginia. In addition, the National Ground Intelligence Center is also adjacent to the project’s site. Future residents will have easy commutes to Charlottesville, which is 20 minutes away and Washington D.C that’s 100 miles out.
