This is an large L Shaped parcel of land that fronts Route 45 (Apple Harvest Drive) near The Gallery entrance and fronts a little of Interstate 81 and sits directly behind The Commons.
If you notice at The Commons, the entrance road (Retail Commons Parkway) extends past Target and stops at a wooden fence. It appears the road could easily be extended to the property behind for further development. It was in the Martinsburg Journal a couple months ago that Blue Ridge Community College was also buying a piece of this farm for their new campus. So its possible that Blue Ridge CTC and AIG will be partnering for development. Maybe a Town Center theme. Just speculation, we'll know more when the plans are on the county's website.

This is great news!!! Thank you very much. I'm looking forward to hearing the tenant line-up and/or seeing a site plan in the near future. Thanks again!!!
I visited Bombay Peacock last night, and I must say I was pleased. The place is a tad small, probably 12-14 tables, but business was good. My wife had the Spinach Chicken Curry, and I had the Chicken Vindaloo. Both were excellent, and full of flavor. Even the chef came out and asked us how the meal was -- impressive.
We also spoke with the owners during our meal. They mentioned that they can alter the spice level to conform to your liking. So, if you think something will be to spicy, you can ask for a milder version.
They also mentioned the Martinsburg location (same building as the Long & Foster) has had a setback, but still plan on proceeding. It also sounds like they will have a store in Hagerstown, and perhaps a couple franchises in the immediate DC area.
They also tell us that the head chef is making a recipe book to go on sale in a few months, full of various Indian dishes. If this is true, I can't wait. I'll be there to snatch one up.
My wife and I will be going back. There are many more dishes we want to try.
Yeah, Chef Yudhbir rocks. I'm glad you like the place. I really want to see the restaurant do well because I like seeing local businesses do well - especially in such a difficult economy.
I'm really excited about Tropical Smoothie, since we don't have any thing like that in the area, however Subway isn't really appealing to me. In my opinion, there are WAY too many Subways in the area. There has to be at least seven just in Berkeley County. Oh well, at least the stores are filling up!!! -mmccul

My cousin claims she heard on NBC 25 and ABC3 that a radio station is being built near the Commons though they didn't say which one, my guess is it would be the Prettyman Company ( they own Lite 97.5 ) not WRNR as that station is deeply in debt and up for sale, how could they afford to move?

Great News about Tropical Smoothie Cafe!! I looked at their menu and in addition to smoothies, they have sandwiches, salads, wraps, flatbreads, and breakfast. They should do very well. About Subway I looked on their website, this will be #12 for Berkeley County HAHA.

Thanks for pointed that out about Tropical Smoothie, I most likely would of never went but I too got on their website and it looks like they have some good sandwiches too.
I don't get the Subway thing, we got some gift certificates for them at Christmas and did go (haven't eaten there in about 15 years). It was okay but I still don't think you can't beat Sheetz subs.

Wow, really? I LOVE Subway! I'd eat a 6" toasted oven roasted chicken breast sandwich on 9-Grain Honey Oat with provolone, spinach, tomatoes, red onions and low-fat honey mustard every day if I could.
Sheetz does have good sandwiches, but they aren't very good for you (and the one's that are aren't very appetizing). Not saying Subway has the healthiest food on the planet, but I feel at least I know what I'm getting. I do like the new Grab N' Go section at Sheetz. I always grab the little snack packs!
