Short Term Rentals in Downtown Harrisonburg (think AirBNB) Under Construction at Market and Mason

That building under construction on the corner of Market and Mason (red star above) -- have you been wondering what it will be? Read more in this report from WHSV yesterday.... HARRISONBURG, Va. (WHSV) -- A new building on corner of Mason and East Market streets near Urban Exchange will feature a restaurant, possibly a wine bar and some apartments; and those apartments won't be typical rentals. The three apartments that will go on the third floor will be advertised as short-term rentals on Air B&B, a website that allows people to rent out their spaces temporarily. The building's owner, Ken Bell, hopes this will boost the downtown scene, but also bring in something he thinks is missing from the area. "There's already a number of apartments for people looking for the standard year-long lease but what I haven't been able to see is any way that someone that's just visiting, but wants to stay in downtown," Bell said. "There's really not much available right now for that." In the basement, Bell hopes to have a wine bar and a Mediterranean restaurant on the first and second floors. According to Bell, he hopes that this building will encourage other expansion in the downtown area. "They build upon one another," Bell said. "The more people that live downtown and shop downtown, then there's more businesses that wanna be downtown --and those businesses need space so then it will continue to grow."
