Maria Burke Interiors Moving Design Studios to Townside Shopping Center in Charlottesville
Building will “function as a corporate advertisement” and leverages strategic location “near where our clients live” according to founder Maria Burke
Maria Burke Interiors, LLC is moving its design studios and five employees to Townside Shopping Center, a 60,000 mixed-use project located in Charlottesville, Virginia. Founded in 2015 by Maria Burke, the firm intends to take occupancy of the new space at 2215 Ivy Road by early fall. Sam Orr and Brian Thomas of MacKenzie Commercial Real Estate Services, a full-service commercial real estate brokerage firm with regional offices in Charlottesville, represented the tenant in this lease transaction.
Maria Burke Interiors specializes in providing schematic interior design solutions for new-build and renovation projects in the residential sector, as well as interior decorative services. Residential product categories include traditional family homes, countryside cottages, and farms situated in the greater Charlottesville area. The group focuses on all aspects of the design or renovation process including lighting, plumbing, cabinetry design, and interior finish selections.
“Our new studio space performs several important functions for our firm,” stated Burke. “First and foremost, it provides an aesthetically-pleasing, creative, and empowering work space team that will help our team perform at an extremely high level. “Throughout our real estate search, we specifically focused on this section of town based on the proximity of our current and, we believe, future clients. The strategic location of Townside Shopping Center and its high-profile exterior will serve as a corporate advertisement for Maria Burke Interiors, that will translate into increased business activity,” she added.
Townside Shopping Center is a two-story project featuring a mix of corporate office, professional services, retail tenants, and restaurants and adjacent to the University of Virginia.
“Maria Burke and her team have an exceptional reputation in residential interior design, and this move will elevate the firm’s presence in Charlottesville,” stated MacKenzie’s Orr. “The new location offers excellent expansion opportunities for Maria and her team, and we are certain the firm will experience continued growth and success in this great location.”
