Dairy Market
Dairy Market is a mixed-use development overseen by Stony Point Development Group on the site of the former Monticello Dairy building. Two phases have been completed and a third has been announced. [1]
The former Monticello Dairy Building is one of Charlottesville's individually protected properties, meaning any exterior changes or potential demolition would have to be approved by the Board of Architectural Review. The building is located at 946 Grady Avenue, but only part of the structure is protected. [2]
The project will have 50,000 square feet of office space, 30,000 square feet of retail space and around 180 apartments. [3]

One of them was Harvest Moon Catering. [4]
