Innsbrook is a mixed-use corporate center in Central Virginia that was founded in 1979 by local developer Sidney Gunst on property owned by David Arenstein and Henry Stern. Located approximately 13 miles northwest of Richmond’s central business district at the confluence of I-64 and I-295, the development is the region’s second largest employment center. Currently it encompasses over seven million square feet of office space, representing over 400 companies and 22,000 employees. The development includes approximately 1000 residential units and 100,000 sq ft of retail and 12 hotels.[2]

Governance

The Innsbrook Owners Association (IOA) and its board of directors,[3] is a non-profit corporation that upholds a comprehensive set of restrictive covenants that were established to preserve the quality and character of the development. The IOA actively oversees issues such as security, landscaping, lakes, trails, and stormwater management, and coordinates with the county on roads and utilities. The IOA Architectural Review Committee exercises oversight and approval of design plans prior to submission to the county in accordance with Innsbrook’s design guidelines.[4]

Development Status

Innsbrook, along with the adjacent Deep Run Business Park, is Henrico County’s designated Urban Development Area. “Urban Development Areas (UDAs), or other similarly defined growth areas, are a voluntary designation made by Virginia localities with comprehensive plan and zoning authority per the Code of Virginia § 15.2-2223.1.”[5]

Performance Venue

The Innsbrook Pavilion was an 8500 capacity outdoor performance venue that hosted summer concerts from 1985 until October, 2021. The venue hosted numerous nationally known performers and bands.

Disambiguation

Prior to the development of Innsbrook in 1979, the rural crossroads of West Broad Street (Highway 250) and Cox Road was a Populated Place (unincorporated area) historically known as Erin Shades (GNIS FID: 1760166) within the 23060 zip code.[6] While Erin Shades no longer exists, numerous geographical information systems (GIS) retain this crossroad reference, including the 1997 USGS map.[7]
