The Landmark Hotel is a proposed nine-story, 100-room luxury hotel to be located on the Downtown Mall. The site is a former bank building owned by Wachovia after it purchased Central Fidelity.

The real estate and project is owned by Halsey Minor[1][2]. Stephen Blaine is his attorney for the project[3].

Prior owners of the project included Lee Danielson and Oliver Kuttner, and other names used for the project in the past are The Beacon-Charlottesville and Hotel Charlottesville[4].

Approvals

The Charlottesville Board of Architectural Review approved the plans on February 20, 2008[4].

BAR granted conditional permission to tear down the black granite façade in October 2008[5].

Construction

At groundbreaking on March 11, 2008, the opening was scheduled for July 2009[6][1].

Financing controversy threatened the project as early as November 2008, and Silverton Bank, the project's lender, eventually was subject of a bank failure[7].

Lee Danielson was the developer of the project until Minor fired him in December 2008[2].

Construction stopped in January of 2009[3].
