Virginia Beach Town Center is a group of offices, hotels, stores, and restaurants located in the central business district of Virginia Beach, Virginia.
The Virginia Beach Town Center is located in the Central Business District of Virginia Beach across the street from Pembroke Mall. Although the city had planned a "downtown" project for decades, clearance of land, and building construction did not begin until around 2000. The first building, the Armada Hoffler Tower, opened in 2003. Town Center is located 9 miles from the Virginia Beach Oceanfront and 10 miles from downtown Norfolk, Virginia. Also nearby to the Virginia Beach Town Center is Princess Anne High School, home to the International Baccalaureate academy.
