There is a lot planned for Port Republic Road --- likely related to the relocation of Rockingham Memorial Hospital, and the widening of Port Republic Road. 

We recently talked about the following new developments coming on Port Republic Road....

• Aspen Heights (student housing)
• Stone Spring Courtyard (luxury gated apartment community)

And now, I'm finding more details online about the residential development to take place at Stone Port. 

Here are details of the residential development at Stone Port, from their web site....

• The Cathcart Group from Charlottesville will be developing The Reserve at Stone Port.
• The Reserve will encompass 21.8 acres, and will consist of 396 apartment homes.
• Construction on the first phase (168 units) will begin in 2012-Q4.
• Stone Port is envisioned to eventually feature a 27-acre Village Center with a grocery store, shops, restaurant, hotels, pharmacies, etc.
• The residential community (The Reserve) is planned to feature amenities such as The Reserve Club --- a 7,000 SF clubhouse with a business center, fitness center, cyber cafe, movie theater, billiards room, ping pong room, spa and tanning rooms, etc.  Other amenities will include a pool, hot tub, outdoor fireplace and lounge, sport court, walking trails, kiddie pool and tot lot.
• The apartments will feature one, two or three bedrooms, and will feature granite counter tops, maple cabinets and stainless steel appliances.

All of the above (Aspen Heights, Stone Spring Courtyard, The Reserve at Stone Port) are all indications of a recovering, growing local economy.
