New owner of Affordable Suites of America and 79 other Charlottesville property transactions from May 2026

One of the regular features of Town Crier Productions has been a summary of property transactions in Charlottesville. For many years, paid subscribers on Substack would get an advance look before it was posted here to Information Charlottesville.

In the past year, though, I’ve been neglecting to repost them here. I had not realized this until this weekend. It’s been busy.

As of today, all 65 of these are now posted here and available to anyone with an interest in this work. I suspect there are a lot of people. I imagine people in the far-flung future using this as a potential resources. I wonder how it all turns out.

This latest edition came out because the City of Charlottesville suddenly switched over to a new GIS system and the old one is scheduled to go offline on September 21. Until doing the research for this edition, I’ve not used the new one, which was only announced on September 14. So I spent Saturday making sure I’m comfortable with a new way of doing things before the old one disappears. I asked the city if they’d consider an extension but have not heard back.

In this second quarter of the 21st century, the ability to retrieve policy documents and other information from all levels of government is astounding. Thanks to paid subscribers, sponsors, and donors, I make my living sifting through them to report as much as I can about what’s happening. But I also constantly worry about information disappearing both from online repositories as well as the collective knowledge of appointed and elected officials.

I also seem to used these summaries to remind people of recent planning history.

Charlottesville City Council adopted an Affordable Housing Plan in March 2021 as the first rung of the Cville Plans Together initiative. All of those documents are still up there for anyone to go through to understand why the development rules changes were made.

Earlier this month, City Council got an update on the implementation of the plan and I have an article on Information Charlottesville.

“The city has invested approximately $65.8 million which is about 66 percent of the full 10-year goal,” said Madeline Metzler, Senior Housing Planner with the Department of Neighborhood Development Services.

“Overall, we’re ahead on direct housing investments and on tax relief and stability programs, and we’re behind on spending for administrative capacity, which affects our ability to implement new programs, carry out policy changes, and expand our transparency tools,” Metzler continued.

A purpose of this newsletter is to try to keep track of as many of these items as possible. A flaw of a one-person operation is a lack of capacity to follow up on what the city formerly called the Housing Equity and Anti-Displacement Toolkit. Council had a briefing on February 5, 2024 at the same time they adopted a manual for the Development Code as well as an affordable dwelling unit manual. I wrote about that meeting and have tried to keep up as much as I can.

As you go through this edition, pay attention to the transactions in Residential Neighborhood A. Each one is different:

• A Piedmont Community Land Trust house in the Orangedale section of Fifeville sold to a qualified homeowner
• An investment company bought a house in 10th and Page and are renovating it
• A 25-year old house in the same neighborhood sold for under 20 percent of the 2026 assessment
• A single-family detached house in Orangedale sold at 8.56 percent over the 2026 assessment
• A house in the 700 block of Nalle Street sold for 20.61 percent below the assessment

• I’ve written a few stories about paper streets in recent years. These are bits of right-of-way owned by the City of Charlottesville not necessarily programmed. Here’s the latest. Some might be used as alleyways and others are just undeveloped land. Council gets to decide what happens with these spaces and it appears to be on a case by case basis.
  
  On this day, an entity called Bon Dia LLC split an undeveloped lot they own at 320 11th Street NE. One has frontage on 11th Street but the other would only have access from a strip of land depicted in a subdivision plat as a 15 foot alleyway. A building permit has been issued for a four bedroom house estimated to cost $900,000 to construct.
  
  According to the city’s permit portal, the Charlottesville Planning Commission approved the boundary line adjustment on August 12, 2025. But the city’s meeting records do not show a Planning Commission meeting that day. There are no attachments for PL-25-0083. (Residential-A, 0.227 acres)

Before you go: A major research interest for Town Crier Productions is property research in Charlottesville. While all of the information is eventually posted publicly, paid subscribers of the Charlottesville Community Engagement newsletter occasionally get a first look. This edition for May 2026 was originally posted through Substack on September 20, 2026 and posted here the next day. But if you read the above, you already know that!
