Liberty View moving forward as a residential development

Residential Development Near Franconia Metro Approved Plans for a development near the Franconia-Springfield Metro now include a 300-unit multifamily building.

The Board of Supervisors approved a residential use for the future Liberty View development near the Franconia-Springfield Metro. (Rendering via Monument Realty) FRANCONIA, VA — The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to approve a residential addition to a future development near the Franconia-Springfield Metro station. The Liberty View mixed-use development will now include a 300-unit multifamily apartment building, according to developer Monument Realty. Liberty View will be located on a 13.4-acre site in the northwest part of the Franconia-Springfield Parkway and Beulah Street intersection. The residential building is planned to have 12,675 square feet of ground-level retail, a swimming pool, fitness center, bike trails and covered parking. Planning has been in the works for nearly a decade with multiple amendments submitted to the county along the way. The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors approved rezoning of the site in April 2011, allowing up to five office buildings between 180,000 and 220,000 square feet, and one of those office buildings to be substituted for a hotel use. The latest approval allows for one of the office buildings to be substituted for the residential use. Rodney Lusk, the new Lee District supervisor, voiced support for the substitution from office to residential use for one building. He noted that the local real estate market and county have seen increasing office vacancy rates. The latest approval means the initial construction phase can begin for the development. The Lee District Land Use Committee and Fairfax County Planning commission endorsed the proposal before the Board of Supervisors approval. "We are extremely pleased by the prospect of bringing a mixed-use development to this important Metro location," said Russell Hines, president of Monument Realty, in a statement. "With the new TSA headquarters opening in 2020, the recent renovation of the Springfield Town Center and the Amazon announcement earlier this year, the Franconia-Springfield area is well-positioned to welcome new residential, hotel, retail, and office development to an area that has great market fundamentals." According to county staff, the main access point to the development would be through Jasper Lane, a private street connected to Metro Park Drive. A right-turn only entrance from Beulah Street was also proposed. A timeline for the project construction has not been announced.

New Development For Richmond Highway

The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved its “Embark Richmond Highway” plan on Tuesday, aimed as a catalyst for new development along a 7.5-mile stretch of Route 1 between Huntington and George Washington’s Mount Vernon estate. Enlarge The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved its “Embark Richmond Highway” plan on Tuesday, aimed as a catalyst for new development along a 7.5-mile stretch of Route 1 between Huntington and George Washington’s Mount Vernon estate. COURTESY FAIRFAX COUNTY IN THIS ARTICLE Commercial Real Estate Industry Government & Regulations Industry Residential Real Estate Industry By Drew Hansen – Digital Editor, Washington Business Journal Mar 21, 2018, 8:11am EDT Updated a day ago A stretch of Richmond Highway in southern Fairfax County known for shabby motels and other aging commercial development is poised for a major overhaul that could quadruple the area’s population. The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved its “Embark Richmond Highway” plan on Tuesday, aimed as a catalyst for new development along a 7.5-mile stretch of Route 1 between Huntington and George Washington’s Mount Vernon estate. The plan calls for widening Route 1 for additional lanes and to accommodate bus rapid transit running primarily in the middle of the roadway between the Huntington Metro station and Fort Belvoir. Supervisors approved more residential development within a half-mile of nine new BRT stations. The plan foresees a maximum of 18,000 housing units and 8.5 million square feet of nonresidential development along the corridor, including offices and hotels. The envisioned high-density, mixed-use development would be clustered in six community business centers around the BRT stations, with the areas of North Gateway, Penn Daw, Beacon-Groveton, Hybla Valley-Gum Springs, South County and Woodlawn gaining new street grids and approvals for taller buildings. The plan approved Tuesday also supports extending Metro’s Yellow Line south with new stations in the Beacon-Groveton area and in Hybla Valley. It also calls for new bike lanes and sidewalks on both sides of Route 1. According to The Washington Post, county officials say the plan could potentially increase the area’s population to 40,000 — more than four times what it is today. The plan has an estimated $750 million price tag, plus substantial state and federal funding needed for the transportation improvements, according to the Post. “This is an enormously big financial lift for our community,” said Supervisor Jeff McKay, D-Lee District, according to the report. “I’m not interested in having a plan sit on the shelf and collect dust.”
