[1] Innsbrook is a mixed-use corporate center in Central Virginia that was founded in 1979 by local developer Sidney Gunst on property owned by David Arenstein and Henry Stern.

[2] The Innsbrook Owners Association (IOA) and its board of directors,[3] is a non-profit corporation that upholds a comprehensive set of restrictive covenants that were established to preserve the quality and character of the development.

The IOA actively oversees issues such as security, landscaping, lakes, trails, and stormwater management, and coordinates with the county on roads and utilities.

Prior to the development of Innsbrook in 1979, the rural crossroads of West Broad Street (Highway 250) and Cox Road was a Populated Place (unincorporated area) historically known as Erin Shades (GNIS FID: 1760166) within the 23060 zip code.

[6] While Erin Shades no longer exists, numerous geographical information systems (GIS) retain this crossroad reference, including the 1997 USGS map.
