For Charlottesville's growing companies
Where Charlottesville's best companies put down roots.
Historic downtown space sized for growing teams, in three of the city's most storied buildings — leased directly by a downtown owner-operator who has been part of the Mall for thirty years.
Why lease here
Built for the stage you're in, and the one you're growing into.
Right-sized for real teams
897 to 2,152 SF — roughly 6 to 40 people. The exact footprint a growing company needs, not a floor you'll rattle around in.
Character that recruits
Exposed brick, soaring ceilings, hardwood, and oversized windows. A space candidates remember, in buildings with a story.
Room to grow
Combine adjacent suites for 4,200+ SF, or step up across three buildings without leaving downtown.
Walk to everything
The Downtown Mall, restaurants, coffee, and two parking garages are steps from the front door.
Minutes from UVA
A ten-minute reach to Grounds, the talent pipeline, and your research partners.
Connected to the world
Amtrak Northeast Regional runs direct to DC and New York from Union Station, a short walk away.
The landlord
You lease directly with the owner.
Townsquare isn't a broker or a faraway fund. It's a downtown owner-operator that has spent three decades restoring Charlottesville's historic buildings — the Michie Building, Court Square, and 300 West Main among them. When you lease here, you're dealing with the people who own the building and can make decisions on the spot.
Talk to the person who can say yes
No broker, no listing service, no faraway REIT. You negotiate terms with the owner directly.
Every photo, floor plan, and cost up front
Rent, CAM, parking, and utilities laid out per suite before you ever tour.
Build-out is a conversation
Layout changes and improvements get decided directly, not routed through a committee.
A real downtown partner
An owner-operator that has spent three decades restoring Charlottesville's historic downtown buildings.
Find your fit
Three buildings, matched to your stage.
The location
In the middle of everything that matters to a growing company.
The Downtown Mall
120+ shops and restaurants at your door — the recruiting and retention perk a suburban office park can't offer.
UVA talent and research
Ten minutes from Grounds, the engineering school, and a steady pipeline of graduates and researchers.
Amtrak Northeast Regional
Direct rail to Washington and New York from Union Station, a short walk away.
The local tech community
In the middle of Charlottesville's startup scene — Codebase, Studio IX, CvilleBioHub, and the 434 ecosystem are all downtown.

For growing teams
Questions teams ask before they sign.
- Can we build out or customize the space?
- Yes. Because you lease directly with the owner, build-out, layout changes, and improvements are a conversation with the person who can approve them — not a request routed through a broker and a committee.
- What lease terms are available?
- Terms are negotiable and set directly with the owner. Whether you want a shorter runway while you grow or a longer term to lock in a downtown address, it's a direct conversation.
- How fast can a team move in?
- Most suites are available now or within a few weeks. With an owner-direct lease there is no listing-service lag — you can tour, agree on terms, and sign quickly.
- Can we combine suites or expand later?
- Yes. Adjacent suites in the Michie Building can be combined for up to 4,200+ SF, and the three-building portfolio means you can step up as your team grows without leaving downtown.
- How large a team do these suites fit?
- The suites run 897 to 2,152 SF — roughly 6 to 40 people at 150 to 250 SF each. That covers a first office out of coworking through a 30-person headquarters.
- Is there parking?
- Yes. On-site parking is available at each building (typically $145/mo per space), with the E. Market St. Garage and Water St. Garage steps away for staff and visitors.
