Construction of the apartment building known as the Flats at West Village was completed in the summer of 2014 when the first residents began to move in. A restaurant called World of Beer opened soon after as did a convenience store.
World of Beer closed and the space was vacant until the recent opening of Mejicali. The convenience store is still there, but a third retail spot has never been fitted out and has remained vacant to this day.
That could be changing.
Old Dominion National Bank of North Garden has filed an application with the Comptroller of the Currency to operate a bank at 852 West Main Street in Charlottesville which is the address of the Flats at West Village. A public notice was published in a recent edition of the Charlottesville Daily Progress.
If you want to comment, you’ll have to write the Director for District Licensing of the Northeastern District, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency at 7 Times Square, 10th Floor Mailroom, New York, NY, 10336 within 30 days of the February 27, 2025 application.
I’ve checked the city’s portal application and there does not appear to be a building permit for this at this time. The city’s communications director has confirmed that one has not yet been filed.
Before you go: This story went out on March 11, 2025 in the Charlottesville Community Engagement newsletter. It took a week to post here. Oh well. In any case, this story came from a public notice in the Charlottesville Daily Progress.
