Drive around Harrisonburg right now and you’ll pass a lot of fenced-off dirt. Here is the whole list, pulled from the city’s own development tracker rather than from rumor. I re-checked it against the city’s data on September 15, 2026.
The aerial above is the Virginia Base Mapping Program’s most recent public imagery of the Weston Park site on Port Republic Road, the largest housing project on the list.
What is under construction today
The city currently shows 48 projects under construction, carrying 709 housing units between them. That is the number that matters for supply, because these are the ones with permits pulled and crews on site. Projects still in site plan review are years earlier and some never get built. The biggest of those, a 630-unit project at the Waterman Drive quarry, gets its own post.

How to read this list
Two things worth knowing. First, most of what is on it never went to a public hearing. A use that is permitted by right in its zoning district goes through administrative site plan review and a building permit, with no rezoning request and no council vote. That is why projects appear seemingly out of nowhere.
Second, a project list is not a delivery schedule. Construction timelines slip, and unit counts change between approval and framing. Treat the housing numbers as the ceiling for the next few years rather than a forecast.
