Corridor study of Van Dorn Street

GSA Warehouse

6808 Loisdale Road, Building A

The large warehouse off Loisdale Road in Springfield continues to be a candidate for home of the new headquarters of the FBI. The building, owned by the General Services Administration (GSA) is competing with sites in Greenbelt and Landover for the highly coveted candidate. Environmental impact statements for the three sites have been completed and the final contract is scheduled to be awarded around fall 2016.

Liberty View

13.45-acre site near Beulah Street and the Fairfax County Parkway

This was approved for single family home neighborhoods, four office buildings and fifth structure that would be either a hotel or office building. It was rezoned in 2011 and previous structures have been demolished.

Park Pointe

Development has started on 18 single-family homes spread across 7.7 acres. Paving should be taking place this spring, weather-permitting.

Safford Car Dealerships

Loisdale Road

Following the 2015 opening of Jennings Toyota at 7601 Loisdale and a new artificial turf field at Loisdale Park, Safford Hyundai is scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2016 with Safford Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge/Ram set to follow in the second quarter of 2016.

Springfield Town Center

6500 Springfield Mall

Since January 2015, another 30 shops and restaurants occupying 87,000 square-feet have joined the 1.35 million square-foot retail space of Springfield Town Center, according to owner Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust. Some of the newest tenants include Nordstrom Rack, Francesca’s, Finish Line, New York and Co., Wood Ranch BBQ and Grill and Dave and Buster’s, which opened Dec. 21, 2015. The renovated shopping destination reopened in October 2014 after years of decline as the Springfield Mall. Later stages of redevelopment planning for the area include residential, office and hotel space. But their execution will be dictated by market performance of the Springfield Town Center market. A release from PREIT said another 73,000 square-feet of space is already committed for 2016.

U-Haul Warehouse

5285 Port Royal Road

U-Haul is repurposing a previously vacant personal storage facility for a truck rental business. The Board of Supervisors approved amending the zoning ordinance and special exception application in its June 23 meeting. All permits have been granted and construction is underway.

The renovation will include upgrades to windows, flooring, HVAC, power and lighting of the current structure, and additions for music, science, library and administration. Cost is estimated in the Capital Improvement Program at $82,958,090.
